If I get an order due to your efforts I will have Omaha Steaks send a 
cow your way. Speaking of cows did you know a full size steer at an Ox 
Roast will only provide 520 to 550 sandwiches. ( I learned this at the 
Kutztown Folk Life Festival.)

FIRELOCK did a vault for one of the true legends in the music world and 
the collection was amazing from guitars to sheet music to platinum 
records to practice session recordings. But once we were done we had to 
forget we were even there.

Surprisingly, I find chasing people for vaults to be ineffective.  They 
either believe in protection or they don't.  When they realize what the 
risk is, and I have no idea what put the fear of loss into them, they 
search FIRELOCK out.  But I find people don't like to be told they are 
doing it wrong or that they are taking unnecessary risks.

The best is when a respected records manager points out to them that 
they are doing it wrong and sends them to me.  This always works as 
records managers have a great deal of credibility.  I just had a Town 
hall call me as a result of a records manager telling them to contact 
me.  They came in totally open to ideas and we spend and hour on the 
phone and the gentleman left feeling like he had all the answers for 
his architect.  That makes my job fun.

Plus you get 520 sandwiches on the hoof. :~)

Wait is it really 3:35 AM?  I have to go to bed.  I have stay at Pat 
Cunningham's pub way too long.
