Man, this sort of thing is why I started posting on this board. On other boards I frequent, when people talk about getting evicted from the house they've spent their whole life in, or when they talk about having to sell some of their guns to make rent, or something similarly awful happens to them, everyone just gives them the "ye olde sympathy." Not that it isn't good to feel for people, but this is the first time I've ever seen a group of people come together with such... anonymous charity. Here, a man they've never met, in trouble, because he has to sell something his father loved, and so many High Roaders immediately leapt to their feet and offered, wanting nothing in return, to help this man hang on to the memory of his father.
Ah, jeez, now I've got myself all choked up. I love The High Road, even if I don't post here much.

On a personal note, my father has my grandfather's old Remington Model 12, that was in his truck when he was fatally injured in a crash with a god(expletive) ed UPS driver, and even though it doesn't work (yet), I don't think I my father, or anyone, for that matter, in my family, could ever give up that gun, it's all we really have left of grandpa.
