.... A Christmas Story ... 12 to 15 years ago, one of you sent me some "Aircraft Grade Leather" that you hoped I "could use some day". Well that day has come 🎄 I took good care of that leather, always keeping it in my office and never opening it until Bruce Lavorgna @ Leather Specialties (GTU) said "no promises, but I'll give it a shot". He unrolled it in front of me and I could tell by his expression that time had not killed it. One roll was gray, the other roll was tan. Bruce had some red laying around he highlighted the gray seats with. Also, he beefed up the old Navion seats with some wicked good seat foam and said for me to call and thank him after my first 3 hour flight 🛫 So, whoever sent me that leather, I did put it to good use. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄🌲🎄 ML
