I met up with George Grand today and there is no better human being on this earth! George you are an awesome and gracious host.

We went to the Glithens Center and I was so touched by the staff.

Generosity exudes from you sir.

    He's the most genuine person I've ever met.

    I never doubted that even though I have never met the man.

    George is a crusty old **** (much like myself) with whom I would gladly take the opportunity to meet and possibly spend an afternoon discussing things we agree and/or disagree on. I can't stand to talk to disingenuous fools. George is neither.

    I hav not had the pleasure of meeting George yet, but I'm pretty sure when I do we'll have a nice chat and enjoy some nice rum.

    Now, being touched by the whole staff of the Glithens Center.....I don't know....... Was Doro there? Was this touching thing his idea?????

    I was wondering about that touching thing myself. If that is the case, I'm sure Joe had a nice afternoon.

    ****, when Brandy and I pulled up at his house for the first time, I said 'Oh ****, why is Anthony standing there with the crypt keeper next to him?'

    Cheers,

    Although I've never met him personally, I understand that he ain't too bad, and am really interested in seeing his prize lhamas.

    George is the genuine article as is the entire Grand Clan. His neighbor, Mr. Jackson is a HELL of a guy as well.

    EDIT: I have been to the Githens center WITH George and his family. There is nobody on this planet with a more sincere desire to help those kids out than George. While you can dislike George for his knack for not suffering fools lightly, his integrity is beyond reproach. SpecK, I used to consider you equivalent to a chunk of **** that wouldn't flush, mildly annoying but otherwise harmless. You, sir, are a true piece of ****. You don't even have the balls to come out and accuse the man, you do it in the third person, ascribing the charge to a third party. A real coward.

    The Polk Forum members handed Githens close to $1,000 yesterday. $980 and some change to be precise...just in case somebody's counting nickels.

    And you guys think I'M the real deal? You know who you are, and you know who you're not.

    My God, I've never heard someone so well respected in 1 forum. I want to buy something from him just to have an excuse to drive up to Jersey and meet the guy.
