That's a fabulous milestone! I'll bet that every time you look at that emblem you'll always remember your kids' joy when they gave it to you! Sometimes it's the small things that matter most.

I think that was a real heart felt gift, from some very loving children. You are a very lucky man. And i would give my -------------- for that flathead.
