MUDD's Generosity !!!!
« on: August 18, 2010, 11:14:00 AM »
I do not post a lot of times on the site. Mainly because I'm busy trying to read everyones info and absorb as much info as possible.

I would like to highlight one of the best things I have seen on this site - its the calibre of personnel associated with TradGang... Folks such as "MUDD"...

Recently (a few weeks) he posted a topic on a homemade leather release that he fabricated to help with a consistant release. I was very interested in it due to the fact that I have had injuries to the bone structure of my hands while in the military. I was hoping that this device would take some of the pressure off my hands - or - fingers to be exact.

Now during my initial messages to MUDD... I asked for just a drawing or diagram so I could make one myself - He just sent me two of them without hesitation to try and help. I can not express how great that made me feel. In a world full of "Just For Me" attitudes - folks like MUDD and like others on this site - do wonderful things that may seem so small and insignificant to them - but mean sooo much to others.

MUDDs willingness to sent not just one - but two of the leather release aids to help me out made me speachless...  I honestly had to sit back and truely think about how much something of this nature makes me feel... I'm not writer or great with words... I could not do justice to the way it helps me feel better about peolple in general when events such as this happen.

I have grown to appreciate the "little" things in life - as we most do. Things such as this just make life BETTER...

MUDD - I bet your thinking "I wish you wouldn't have" in reading this... But I needed to say a big THANK YOU.  What better way than to say it where I initially contacted you....

The release aid unfortunately did not work for me personnally. But I can see its application in helping others - which is what MUDD was trying to do for me.

Again - Thanks you MUDD & Thank you TradGang for being what I would call a "friend"...


It will be good to meet you some day MUDD - One of these days I will be able to "officially" retire and travel... Yea right - Ha Ha

I've known Roy for quite a numbers of years & he never ceases to surprise me in the things he does & the way he helps people. Me included. One day he gave me a new pair of insulated camouflage pants. Said he just ordered an extra pair. He's helped me out a bunch, most importantly, with his friendship.

James,
Over my years in trad and here on Gang, I've found what you shared of Mudd's attitude to be much more the norm than the unusual. (not to take anything from Mudd's innate generosity, though)  :)

Being where you hail from, and me on the E. Coast, I can attest it is more rare the more you hang in places with lotsa people....   :(  

Thing is, if'n ya moved down South, you'd see that more even from "non-trad shooter" folks, and to some extent anywhere in more rural america...that 'help thy neighbor' is more prevelant.

Thing with down South is that they got chiggers, eat biled okra and unless ya hang with Mudd, GRITS!   :biglaugh:

I do believe MUDD is a former MARINE and that explains it.

Mudd is one of those people in life that once you meet them, you wonder how you made this far without having met them.......    :clapper:

It's impossible to not like Mudd!  :)
I've never met him or heard his voice,
but dang, I have a ton of respect for him!
