A Thank You in a package from AK797 (Neil)

A completely unnecessary, yet unsurprisingly generous and gentlemanly "Thank You" from one of our great TRF brothers, AK797 (Neil).

I received today a package from the other side of the pond, and inside was this great read and these delicious delectables.

Thank you, Neil! As the only WIS in my family, the Patek book will be solely for me, but the chocolates will force us to remember what we learned back in kindergarten - sharing!

Thank you again!

Neil is an amazing TRF member and so are you! Two of the reasons this forum is the best on the net!

Steve is being very generous here in not mentioning that this was just a small but heartfelt thank you to him for sending me a much more valuable Rolex pen, simply out of the blue. It was the very least I could do. Hope you enjoy them both, Steve, and wise of you to go for the book and leave the chocs for the family!
