I like your thinking; having your cake and eating it too. Superb. How comforting to have Bigler by your side during all the campaigns. When you think of all the time that both of you endured and were still together. Now that is truly something.
You do have to admit that the Thompson looks so cool, but as you said too, the danged thing got so heavy and YOU did have to carry it everywhere. Sounds like you made a good trade.
I like the photo. Just a hint of cockiness on the face. I think it helped you through the war. Gotta have that spirit my man.
Hey Bigler, if you're still out there, we'd love to hear from you. Give us a ring.
