Turners are just the best kind of people.....
Jesper, Denmark
As some here know, I moved from a very well equipped 1000 sq. ft. shop to an apartment in town due to health and age reasons. One of the ways to dispose of some of the tools was filling the trunk of my car with "stuff" and let people take what they wanted and pay what they thought OK into a can during a recent meet of turners from all over the country. Most of the "stuff" disappeared and the proceeds went to the owner of the shop holding the seance and opening his shop for he visitors.
Today was another meet at the same place. Someone, who apparently had "bought" something from the trunk and brought it home, found that what he had acquired was worth more than he had paid and gave me a handshake with about $75 in it.
I have no idea what he originally bought or paid, but the totally unnecessary gesture today just made me feel totally high on the people and their ethics and the hope for humanity that it indicates. It has nothing to do with money, but all to do with love and fairness to your peers.
Thank you H**s for your gesture, it meant a lot more to me than you can ever imagine.
