John, I also have these three models. You don't think Alex could have made a mistake do you?

Nice group John. I haven't seen the NEO before although, of course the Brooklin is very well known

Fascinating! I've heard of O'Henry but never read any of his stories

John, O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) lived in Austin in the mid-1890s and the house is preserved as a museum. It's the home of the annual World Championship Pun-Offs, and when the pun championships are held in early May each year they receive a lot of publicity locally.

You'd enjoy his short stories...he was a gifted writer. You'd probably enjoy the puns, too!
