: Well, me and Mr. Morgan discussed the characteristics and he
: answered some questions I had about his whips during the
: summer of 1997. I finally got down to it and bought one.
: Shortly after receiving it and discovering to my delight
: that this was one of the greatest whips in the world, I
: informed him that I would be interested in ordering his
: book, since I HAD to find out how these wonderful whips
: were made. I am an autograph freak by nature, and asked
: him if he would sign it for me, after all, I did just buy
: a $520 bullwhip from him. He told me that he would be happy
: to sign it. So, after a month-long trip from one side of the
: country to another (and after having had stalked around taking
: pictures at George Lucas' house at Skywalker Ranch in the hills
: Marin County) I returned home and ordered the book as a birthday
: present to myself. I e-mailed him telling him of my order, and
: he signed it before it went into the mail. To my surprise, he
: signs the D in his name the exact same way I sign mine!!!
: I probably sound like I'm bragging, but I also wrote a letter
: to Harrison Ford, and he liked it so much that he called me,
: then I sent him my Raiders movie poster and he autographed
: it for me!!! I have never been so flattered in my entire
: life!!!

That is great Dale, It must have been some letter to get a personal response back from Harrison Ford like that. You have every right to brag.
Now that you mention it, I should have inquired about having David Morgan sign my book at the time I ordered it. Well live and learn I suppose.
