I was suprised one day when I recieved a box of shells from a dealer. They
were in a previously used box with the old sender's name and address
crossed off and new ones written in. The old sender turned out to be an old
friend of mine who I'd lost track of years ago; they'd sent the box to the
dealer and he sent it to me. Small world we live in.
