Larry sent a note to ICON mentioning two of these. I responded, and after some back and forth and pictures, I said I wanted. Well, that was all well and good, but getting to me was an interesting story. First attempt had Darryl agreeing to pick it up in Colorado, but after he and Charles went up there, they forgot to pick it up. Later, when I sent another note to ICON saying I was going to the St. Joe show, Dan agreed to carry it, which he did. Larry went down to drop it off with Dan, and he dropped by the Weber open house before he even went to his hotel. I was there, and we made the exchange. Turns out Dan has a pin for these, so I'm getting that, too. Talked with Chris about the line these came from, and the next day at the show talked to Mike Miller, who probably is the one who recovered this!
