Bon Jour Richard,

I sure hope you don't stop collecting silver strikes. I think it's such a fun and interesting thing to do. And you DO MEET so many nice people.

Kinda like when you go to the grocery store to buy a dozen eggs. You check to see if there are any bad eggs. And sometimes there are 1 or 2. Does this stop you from buying eggs NO. You put the bad dozen back and try to find a better dozen eggs. The good eggs are there they just have to be found.

The club and strikeing is a lot the same. You in this case, black ball or ecnore the bad collector. And look for the good 1's, and there are MANY.

I hope to meet you someday if I haven't met you.and trade with you someday if I haven't traded with you yet.
I am the worlds worst remembering names and sometimes who I traded with.
