In Response To: Re: Raleigh's Coin(s) ()

Thanks to both Bobs- !!

I have a few, too...

on the coin subject, Doc- I've shown off my "carry" coin innumerable times...(it's beginning to show a little pocket wear) but never been "challenged" in the traditional sense...
until-
at Reagan Airport Saturday night, I was a few minutes late to meet Paul Jr.'s lovely Missus-
and as I entered from the parking area, my cell rang, it was Stacie, and she had been waiting a few minutes at baggage claim. I told her that I would be right there, and asked if she had been told how to recognize me- I had no clue how to recognize her, and was so excited I didn't think to ask- so she told me that she knew I was very tall, and likely wearing "Vietnam apparel"...
I asked if Matthew was with her, and she said she was alone...
I rogered that, and went to meet her.
In the baggage area, I saw several apparent lone, young ladies, and watched for a sign of recognition from several, and no result. Then, after a few minutes, I remembered that I could call her back becuase of the caller ID on my phone. I did so, and after a short cponversation, she described her attire, and I couldn't see her yet- I said, "OK, I'm walking toward the large numeral "five" hanging from the ceiling- she was almost directly under it, and ID'd me from a bit of a distance, and her face LIT up, issues "HI, Lumpy"... in spite of several days' accumulation of intense fatigue and stress. ......

We shook hands and hugged... she had claimed her baggage, and was ready to roll... but first said words to this effect: "I am NOT supposed to go with anyone who can't produce a coin like this..."

Bingo! I luvvit! prolly the best challenge I could ever get. Sign- countersign- done deal.

Thanks, Doc!!!
You will always be DA MAN!
