I came home today from work and saw a box sitting on my front porch and thought ? I didn't order nothing lately but wonder what it is? I pick up that box and it was addressed from E.T.A.R. and I was like what's an ETAR from Pa.   :confused:  Then all of a sudden I was          

You have a very good friend.  Thanks for sharing the story.  Now we need to see a pic of you with the vest and the haversack!

That's awesome. Hats off to Fred.    

Very cool, excellent for both of you.

Excellent!    

   

AWESOMEEEE  

I almost forgot there was also a package of "Charlie's soap" I am guessing to wash wool garments in and I also want to thank you for that as well Fred....To Mrs. Asbell for her quality work and the fit is Perfect and actually made me look a little slimmer in the "grocery department"...Once I figure out the new camera my wife got on her birthday I'll do a pose with the "Man Purse" haversack and the matching Vest my good Buddy 1/4 away Fred got me...Fred I called a pastor friend of mine to tell him how much this meant to me and how you thought so kindly knowing I couldn't be there and went and had this made and mailed from ETAR...I am very greatful to you for the vest but what means so much more to me and I mean this is your unselfish heart and how you surprised me with a package at my door when I pulled into my driveway...This just amazes me beyond measure and Fred I am glad I can call you friend ...    
              Keefers <")))><

             
That Fred is good people for sure!!!!

Keef, You're gonna make me blush with all this praise. Like I said before, just a friend doing something for his buddy. Enjoy the vest....we wanna see a pic!!!!

Yeah we do!

In the words of my late Grandmother Fred, "You're a good egg."  

Good on you Fred.....  

Now guys don't get any ideas and try and become Freds friend cause I ain't sharing him...He's my buddy now so go find your own and don't get no bright ideas and try to steal him away from me...He's mine all mineI say and I will defend him and take care of him  ain't that right Fred?  

Good stuff right there !!!

Great story!  

Fred's a class act all the way...  

I had the pleasure of finally meeting Fred at Denton. Unfortunately the weather was doing its best to make sure we wouldn't shoot together.

Nice gift Keefer, Kudos Fred    

Just great.... made my day !!!

Just cranked the A/C down to 50 degrees so the house will get cold and I can wear my new wool vest around the house...Kids are shivering so I told them to go get a blanket and be quiet cause this is only a test! They said wait till MOMMY walks in the door and see who's quiet then cause Mommy controls that thermostat not you Daddy! I gave them candy and snacks just to keep them from telling the boss and I just cann't wait till fall to try out the vest Fred got me...
