The Purdie interview was a CLASSIC! Thanks so much!

I knew that you'd love Purdie's interview. Especially the part where he talks about Jeff....you can really feel his heart coming through, can't you? He's a great fellow...I bet he has so many OTHER stories that we just didn't get to...but he did cover some things that we just didn't know. And that's what I enjoy the most. NEW information that's new for us all.
Cheers.
