Me and a Legend -- Sir Art Gerber

[bristowboy]

I am sure some of you have heard of Art. His past with ARPA and prison are no doubt conversation topics. I happen to be a good friend of his. Living 7 miles from his house is nice. Here is a photo of us in his vault. He is holding a broken Rose Quartz Bannerstone and one of the 10,000 cache blades he discovered (with friends) at Crib Mound. He gave me one of those blades for my birthday. Totally unexpected. He showed up at my house and handed it to me. It says Happy Birthday Eric on it He's a pretty cool old guy with a TON of stories.

LOL At the old guy comment......Old guys are cool....normally they can still do it as good once, as the young guys think they can do many times....

You are right Gomer but I think the quote is "I am not as good as I once was but I am good once as I ever was".
