I heard from Chandlers family last night and he has been looking at this thread 2 or 3 times a day. He is totally addicted to this hobby. I hope I can keep him into it. He is a natural and really has the eye for this.

We'll vouch for Randy to Chandler's parents (in case they need more opinions than yours!), he's a great guy - take Chandler over there, he looks more than ready for the "good stuff!"
Generous offer, Randy!
