Dennis (mamatried) did the same thing for me with a gorgeous oak woodvil, 1-1/2 ago when I had to close my bike
shop.
The support I felt during that rough time was so uplifting. I could never thank him enough, nor all you kind people here for the love and generosity I've received in my time on this great little sub-forum.
I was able to pass that oak along also a few months ago to another friend and reonaut who desperately needed a new reo after having beat the crap out of his, stripping the body where the delrin cover goes, and limping along for a while, by just shoving it in place.
Kindness and generosity of others will always prevail no matter how uphill it seems at the moment. It will pass and you will be blessed with a great view.
Stay plugged in searching for that next opportunity and I wish you well
Buddy
