Thanks for making these posts, and congrats to Paul and Larry. Great story, Ruben.

I've never had the pleasure of hunting with Paul, but I can attest to Larry's pure determination! His wild enthusiasm is contagious out in the (strewn)field. ( He almost started to do handstands when he found his first Mifflin stone, and probably would have, if he hadn't already logged so many miles that day. ) Very enjoyable person to hunt with.

Good luck, guys, on future finds!

Sincerely,
Robert Woolard
