Again, Rob, your peers appreciate what you do. I have
based the NSMD Ohio Drum Show on your model. It’s a lot
of hard work and I know that you are not getting rich from
this. Your passion drives you. I have had many phone calls
and emails from the foremost vintage collectors and dealers in the country lauding and magnifying your name. Job
well done. Salute!
