Steve Butler Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 (edited) After all the gifts were opened my son in law had to run home and get something. He returned with a box and I was told to close my eyes. I was speechless when I opened the box. Donna gave me an Emerson 1500 which would have been more than I imagined BUT, there was also a Western Electric bipolar in the box. I couldn’t be happier and more mad at the same time. She shouldn’t have spent that kind of money on me but I do appreciate it. Edited December 27, 2024 by Steve Butler 15 Quote

Bobby Gaines Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 What great fans what a nice surprise ! Quote
Stan Adams Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 Wow, that is fantastic! But I did notice she didn’t give you her Eck! 😆 Quote
Steve Butler Posted December 27, 2024 Author Posted December 27, 2024 No one is going to argue with you Jim! Stan, the Eck isn’t even in the fan room with my stuff, it’s in Donna’s reading room. 😏 2 Quote
Steve Butler Posted December 27, 2024 Author Posted December 27, 2024 This story is a perfect example of why you go to Fan Fair or a local meet. The 1500 came from Russ Huber via Jim Roadt from Wisconsin. The Western Electric came from Rick Hill via California. She wasn’t planning on buying it but it was a good enough price she nabbed it too. Both fans were bought at FF then stored by Eddie Frank until recently so Donna could pick them up without me finding out. This club has the best members anywhere. 4 Quote

David Kilnapp Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 Terrific surprise for you Steve! And good for Donna keeping that secret from you for all that time! Quote
James Lawson Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Very nice Christmas gift! If she's anything like my wife, she won't expect anything in return. But make sure you do something really nice for her anyway! Quote
