Icon10 Inncoming RG...The one that

I let get away a few years ago comes home brand new 1 day old thanks to my friend George M from Govberg in Philadelphia. I always regretted letting this one go and finally decided it was time to get her back! In fact I also had an AP RG RC years ago and also let it go and regretted it so yesterday I got her back as well. So--back to back RG returns and both truly special to me!
