[SEL] Portland Charity Auction

[Steve Royster]

Hi Luke, I'm glad Brooky didn't suffer permanent damage in the auction and 
you better believe I'll be looking over my shoulder in the future, but I was 
trying to save her dad from spending 150.00 on a 10.00 puzzle. That mean old 
Glen Karch was all but inciting a riot the way he was making people spend 
their kids inheritance on toys!!!  Poor little Lincoln was trying so hard to 
get that little puzzle with his engine on it and Brooky was whuppin his butt 
too!   His dad all but gave up his college savings just to win that auction, 
and then came the Eclipse!!!!   I think if  Luke really wanted little Brooke 
to have that puzzle he would have mortgaged the farm and got it for her.  I 
hope some day he doesn't have to look over his shoulder and try and explain 
why he didn't step up and outbid that "mean old man".   Being the generous 
old man that I am I would gladly share my puzzle with little Brooky any time 
and I'm sure Lincoln would also. Just let me know your address and I'll send 
it your way.  Mean old Steve
