I think this is probably the most appropriate area for this Knife poem.

I carried a knife to school!
And no one checked it out.
There was....NO threat intended...
Was NOT for 'show'...or 'clout.'

We ALL had knives...and I got mine
When I was...maybe...six.
(Was used to sharpen pencils...and
Make whistles out of sticks.)

We'd do a little carving
On the seesaw...or a tree.
The 'hearts'...with their initials
Were there for ALL to see.

One said that "Bob loves Mary"...
Or "Jimmy S. loves Bea,"
So I joined in...with hoping
That SOMEONE cared for ME!

I carved a heart...that boldly said
"H. P. Loves W. F."
And when the...teasing...reached my ears
I ACTED...as if...deaf!

The tree's long gone...But memories last
Of how I hurt....and cried...
The day I learned...(when we were nine)
My W. F. had died.

This has been a sad day for me. I received news this morning that Ken Daniels (Queen Cutlery) lost his father today. The Daniels family is in our prayers today. May God grant them peace.

The next communication was about a man that I found to be charming and just a dear person. The cutlery family will dearly miss Wayne Koons. Our prayers are with Mary and the Koons family

iKC and the world of knives lost another dear friend today Jim Prather. Uncle Jim had been with us since May 27, 2009 and will be missed by anyone that ever came in contact with his wonderful nature. From his iKC page:

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle..."

LTA... That stands for Love To All. Something I came up with years ago when I saw TCB on the tail of Elvis' (Not Bob Picklesimer, the original Elvis) plane when I flew a Cessna 172 into Memphis. TCB stands for "Taking Care of Business". I thought, "Cool, I gotta' do something like that, and I'll be famous"! So I came up with, LTA. And I mean it. And I became a legend in my own mind...

You are more of a legend than you ever realized Uncle Jim. The Angels are having fun hearing you talk about knives and life!

Please pray for the families that have lost possessions and loved ones in Moore, Ok. An F4 tornado ripped a large path of destruction through the middle of town this afternoon. It completely destroyed an elementary school and had trapped several children inside. The news has reported 51 dead so far.
