I have a left retrieve 3 1/8" Hardy Perfect, it's loaded

Make me an offer, if it's over 4 figures I'll throw in

If I remember the story corectly, I could never insult you by offering
4 figures for taking the memories of the fine gift of a reel you were
given by your professor.

He wasn't *my* professor, he was an English Prof who
thought a NeXT was just what he needed to facilitate
handwriting analysis of medieval scrolls. Apparently
there is value in knowing which particular monk did
the transcribing of the scroll.

I was the NeXT guy on campus but I couldn't help him
much officially during working hours because he didn't
have any money so I set up NeXT boxes at his office and
his home after hours and on weekends. The folks who did
have money were mostly asshole chemists and engineers
so it was my pleasure to do computer weenie stuff for
an English Prof and I never asked for a thing in return
except beer.

When it was all done he gave me a first edition of
_Muriel Foster's Fishing Diary_ and a Hardy Perfect.
And you're right, I'd no sooner part with that reel
than with the Zimboo rod I pair it with.
