Ed,
I agree this thread has become something quite remarkable. I think what comes through clearly is that folks have great affection and memories for OGR. It holds a special place in our lives. The fact that we have saved all these little bits of history is quite notable in this day and age.
This online community has given me far more over the years than I have ever given. My little OGR screwdriver set in a nice intangible way, connects me to that tradition and community.
Thank you,
John
