    I had seen that story as well, but I didn't see the pictures that went with it. He is truly a wonderful guy! Thanks for posting it Emma.

    :lol::lol::lol: I'd hope he went out and got the 8-track Ed told him to. Imagine if Ed gets wind of the famed note, pick and $$$, he'd be so disgusted he may never make a gesture like that again! I guess he could still frame the note and pick :mrgreen:

    Imagine how many of these stories we never hear about... He's a kind and generous soul who never forgets where he came from and how he got where he is.

    WOW. That IS sweet! EV is a special man ... Who is this person i wonder? Would be very interested to know if he actually ever gets that record deal.

    Least use the $599 on the 8-Track and save a $1 bill & frame that up along with the pics and note. :P

    Do you know how expensive that paper is????
    It's an acid free stay-type, ink resolute typing
    paper. One sheaf ( 1000 ) sheets of the Rembrandt
    style that he's apparently using there costs like 95
    dollars!!! Damn that man just had class all around!!
    By the way, the life span of said paper is over 100 years!!
    Oh yeah conqueror is the second highest rated typing
    paper in the world, has been around since the great
    depression, and is used as the letterhead stationary
    for our president! Whew! That was a long Google!
