Several years ago my wife and I went to NYC for a bit. Told her the only thing I wanted to do was visit Holland and Holland.
Just showed up there one day and got buzzed up. They were getting ready for the SCI convention and were really busy. But they took about an hour out of their schedule to show me around.
Amazing. Somewhere there's a photo of me holding about a half of a Howda pair worth about as much as my house.
