Just back from Jackson visiting a very dear friend of mine and doing the Brandon CW show. I took him under my wing over 10 years ago as a Grasshopper. His father in law and my Dad were good friends at Central High in Jackson. His father in law was a huge relic hunter starting back in the late 1950's and found huge amounts of stuff. He was also present when they brought the USS Cairo up and was the second person to enter the boat right behind his relic hunting partner Ken Parks. Anyway long story short Grasshopper gave me some items that his father in law acquired from the Cairo that I have always drooled over. I was blown away and very touched by his gift. I'm going to take a small part of the wood and have Dr Gary make a few witness pens for me and Grasshopper. I also got a few other rare goodies so stay tuned.
