Rob saw pics of the cue in progress a couple months ago and wanted it, REALLY wanted it
.
Long story short is , he had sent me a downpayment to hold the cue for him.
He was going to have to make installments on it over a period of several months.

I wanted to get the cue to him before then, which i had no problem with.
I knew he was good for it.
Yesterday i completed the cue and post the pics & Rob's service record on my facebook page.

Immediately, some of MY fb friends, started asking if they could donate.
I was floored.

7 people chipped in a total of $575 to pay his balance..

Gotta tell you, it brought me to tears .

There were a few of my friends that saw my post after the balance was covered and still wanted to contribute.
So some of them are getting together to buy a nice cue case for Rob.

Stellar

Beautiful cue and an even better story.

This world still sometimes amazes me with the kindness of strangers.

That's one of the coolest things I've read on here
in a while. My dad did 36 years in the military.
It's great to see people offer respect and appreciation in
such a real way. The cue is beautiful!

BHQ = Big Heart Q's

This cue, made for a hero wounded warrior, came from the same cue maker that built an incredible pink butterfly cue to auction off so the full proceeds would be spent on medical equipment for a breast cancer hospital.

I am working on getting a Tony Layne j/b cue for Rob. Rob had already made a substantial down payment. I paid the balance due and I also made a contribution. Thanks to Will Prout for a donation towards the Tony Layne j/b!! $205 still left if anyone wants to donate.

Thanks to obe1, the Tony Layne j/b will be paid off. Like an idiot I sent him the wrong PP address but, hopefully we will get that taken care of.
