From a TRF member from far away, a random act of kindness

From a very thoughtful, considerate, kind, and generous member of this forum from thousands of miles away

I was sent this as a gift!! An original 2013 Basel press release kit!!

I have never seen one before and it is beautiful and to me now a priceless possession I will cherish

This forum has some really tremendous and wonderful members!!

I am so appreciative of his thoughtfulness and generosity, not to mention the time, trouble and expense he took to send it!

I won't mention his name unless he chimes in but I am sure many will know were it came from

I would say a non-random act of awesomeness. This shows the true nature of our members. What a wonderful gift!!! I hope the member takes a bow.
