    As for your FC-owning friend, they have no room to talk about stalking because I recall they have a thing for Wranglers!

    Don't you love it when folks talk about their "favorite features" as if they're referring to a friend's?

    Chris, who hasn't owned a pair of wranglers since the 7th grade.

    Man, I know I have no expectations of ever reaching the tenth of a national, but I would WELCOME that distraction!

    Thanks for a great story. That is one prized turtle shell and memory. As it has been said Mike is a class act all the way.

    Chris thanks for sharing.

    You gotta love the innocence of youth. Who other than a child could walk up to Mike Lardy in a holding blind of the last series of the National, with Patton no less, and ask him about a turtle shell! And get a pat on the head for doing it

    Again, thanks for sharing. Great story and even greater memory for you two.
