---> Ileana's baby book has arrived! <---
I'm tearful, overjoyed, touched, delighted, and so humbled by this gesture of the great members, past and present, of this forum!
 For those that are new members; when my daughter Ileana was born in October of 2008, Jim (Jimbits) came up with the idea to start a baby book to be signed by members of TRF worldwide. The book is a Rolex Catalog of 2008. It went from the UK to other numerous countries in Europe, to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and many states in the USA. The journey was very challenging, and this catalog actually went missing a few times in transit between continents! 2 years and 10 months later the book ARRIVED!!! I will take some pictures later with Ileana holding HER special gift from all these great folks. THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you, but especially Jim, for starting and taking on this amazing task! Much love

It was great to be a part of this. I was the lucky last signer, so I got to see what arrived. Amazing story.
