The One That Got Away

[Dean Romig]

These will all serve as Lessons Learned. I think what we can all take away from these "lessons" is 'Write the check!'.

I was a a yard sale in Augusta, Me. one Sunday morning and had examined every item (I thought) on each of the eight-foot banquet tables there in the side yard. When I got back to the first table I did a double take.... there lay an early Colt 1911 in really nice condition. Beside it lay an early Colt revolver in .38 S&W in abut he same condition and of about the same vintage. I was not much into semi-auto pistols at the time so I left it there... even with the $50 price tag on it. The revolver had a bit of rust in the barrel so I left that one too - also with a $50 tag on it..... I can't write any more... I think I'm going to be sick...
