Gentlemen,

Again I thank you one and all for your kind thoughts. To those Aussies that have work being done or been done by Alex Beer, Ross Waghorn or Ron Croxon, you can see it is well worth the wait. I know that "Father" took a little longer than I had first thought but I have to admit that half of the delay was waiting on the exact part to arrive or that I wanted some-thing else done. In Alex's case I pleaded with him and I mean pleaded to fit the Recknagel scope mounts to my Sabatti as the one that was provided was not to my liking and that allowed the Pelican case to go South with one rifle the Sabatti and come back with two.

The Pelican case is again packed ready to again go back to Tasmania on Monday with the stock for "Son" carefully packed within and hopefully before Christmas "Son" will be finally home.

Cheers for now,

Jeff Gray
