wow. such an amazing, unlikely thing (1) for the guy to have it at all, (2) to have kept it, and (3) for Tony to have even run across the deck and the story, and THEN to turn it into something so cool and helpful. talk about full circle.

now this is a wonderful thing!

For some reason the thought that TH would give the board back to the original owner would complete the circle for me… but that be walking a mile across Lego bricks emotionally for me.
