Good Afternoon,

My best friend introduced me to the site last night and I have to say that I was very impressed.  I am retiring from the U.S. army after 23 years of service at the end of the month.  It has been a long crazy journey, one that I will cherish for the rest of my days.  My best friend also showed me his cigar box guitar and I am inquiring on how to obtain one.  It would make a really great retirement gift.

Cheers,

Ray Dawson
