Tnhndyman agreed to buy my boston speaks.

After finding out i had purchased some dcm tw 3s, and would be looking at a very long drive to get them,he and his wife deb drove FIVE HOURS ROUND TRIP, took his own receiver and cdp to audition speakers, then turned around the next day and drove EIGHT HOURS round trip to pick up his bostons and drop my speaks off.

We had never met, he owed me nothing, but out of the goodness of his heart, he did this for us.

I have read storys on here about the old days, road trips, and how much better the membership used to be.

I have to disagree with those few and far between comments, the kindness and humanity shown to me and deb time and again is what makes this place so special.

Thank you travis, and our door is open to you and yours anytime.

    Was glad to do it Scott. My wife and I enjoyed the day trip to Statesville, and she hates she didn't get to come down to meet you and Deb. Keep an eye on your mail, she is sending a little something to your Deb. It was alot of fun and I'm glad you got the speakers you wanted. I am sure my dad will enjoy the Boston's and I got to make a new friend so you can't beat that.
