Yup, Jim....but I don't want to hijack the thread, Jeff, very cool, Chuck is a class act.
Could care less if he was to call me...LOL
Regardless of Dad, that's still kinda cold. That'd be like me saying, I could care less your dad hunted with Fred Bear....I wouldn't say it, I think that's awesome.
I've been in this industry a long time. I've meet/drank a few beers with many of the "big" names. The thing is, we're all individuals and just people doing a different job. I'm not a celebrity buff at all.
I think it's way cool and generous for someone like Chuck to call you about your buck, he didn't have to, it wouldn't matter to anyone else, he wasn't seeking praise, he just appreciated what you did. That's awesome.
And to answer you question, no I've never been called by Bill Jordan, Toxey Haas, or any other camo owner despite my patronage. I've never been called by any single manufacturer that I've purchased from. That just goes to show Chucks personal touch to his product. Kudos.
