In a world where trusting individuals are so often taken advantage of, it was so refreshing to meet such a class act as Dean. His kindness, patience and incredible expertise put us both at ease. Traveling through Boston traffic at that hour just to do a favor for total strangers is more than anyone should have to bear! We greatly appreciate all the help and advice Dean and the other members have given us. His offer to purchase that old Parker for $65, a whopping $5 more than the gun sold for in 1882 was more than generous! I'm not sure if Dean was serious or just impersonating Charlton Heston, but when the owner asked him for her gun back after he held it for an hour and a half, I could swear I heard him say in a demonic voice, "From my cold, dead hands!"
In all seriousness, thank you Dean for your assistance.
My best to all!
Barry
