Hey Folks -
I received the below personal e-mail over the weekend. Maybe someone
out there feels like being a Good Samaritan and can part with an old
horn.
Not only will it make you feel all "warm and fuzzy" inside, you can
also get a nice tax break for being a decent person ;-)
Anyway, read the message below.
BTW - don't contact me about this. I'm simply the messenger. I don't
know either Mr. Pursley or Mr. Jackson.
Thanks -
Kelly O.
