Milt, I share this with our Board in good humor and fun.
Yesterday I was typing Milt's column for the Reel News. All who read this board know that at times Milt has some typographical errors. His column for March is about Langley reels. Langley does not use numbers in their schematic drawing - they use letters. After using up the alphabet, they started over with double letters, ie: AA, BB, etc. I was typing away when I came to this part, and it just cracked me up.
"Wash and dry MM and KK and set aside. NNow take off the handle nut..."
I got to laughing so hard I couldn't continue. Maybe I can finish up my work this morning.
Milton is our GEM folks, and I'm not suprised with all he does, and is doing these days that he doesn't come up with triple letters! Phil, your note made my day, I too got a laugh from it. Remember Milton, we are not laughing at you, but WITH you. This man is a valuable assest to the world, and not just the fishing reel collecting part of it. Keep up the good work Milton, and you can add extra letters to my emails any day. Bob Halver

And by the way. he DOES know what the "Shift" key is for LOL

Harvey sometimes it can take longeeerrr! As you well know (leave no detail out stops a lot of questions at a later time and with this old age memory of mine I may well forget what we were talking about, Now what was your QUESTION about HARVEY ? now where was I ?oh yes about time typing? hey do any of those christmas Friends TYPE? if so send me one of them! now the point explain what LOL means? is that mean LONG ON LIFE? I hope so, Also JUST got a message Lennys bringing his INDIAN reels to the show, you all ought to go as I may add a few to whaterer I am going to a show to do? Carl help !, am I suposed to bring reels? money? LUNCH? I gota go the Computor is ringing or is it the phone? may be the door bell I am outa here, Col. M. lorens aka SWIM JIG
ok milt bring body,reels,wisdom,and money in that order of importance take flare gun just in case[the wilds of ohio] also take largest reel you have tie one end to front door knob and let it out as you go if get lost just reel up and start over carl
If that big reel Milt brings is a Coxe. It won't make it back to his shop. I'll grab it while he is looking at Len's little Indian. So any of you going to the Ohio show bring your big Coxe Can't believe I just wrote that.
BRIG the big ones , do you relize gas is expensive? thats what cuts down n milage Dave you got any brass reels? any parts? got any factory manuals? I think the biggest one or so I have is a 625, about 3or 4 of those and maybee some 325s, Now this is one thing I will trade off its the original first stage die for the (hornet lure and the compleate asembly that goes into the stamping press as there was only one of these units made, in Elyria OHIO 1948, once its gone there (aint no mores) of them carl isnt that the year you retired? You need a new job make lures ha ha . Dave i will look to see if I have any larger reels. Col. M. LORENS aka SWIM JIG or
