Just to catch everyone up. I have possessed two sample bearings since Feb. I chose not to tell you because I did not want Bill inundated with requests. Now that he doesn't respond to every message, I figure that he can ignore them.

I have held these parts and picked one up and picked one up and physically held it every time someone says "TPAC has never made bearings" or anything like it. This is one of the reasons I have known, since Feb 26, who knows what they are talking about and who doesn't

On a Wed, oops, I misspoke, it was Tue, I sent a private twitter message to Bill:

"It would really be cool to have a sample of the product I have chosen as my first investment."

I did not expect Bill to respond but he did and sent me two bearings left over from the Navair Certification run. This is one of my responses:

"I forgot to say thanks. Thanks. I don't think I will post this because I don't want you to receive 1000 requests like mine. I have heard you respond quickly to emails and tweets. This proves it. My request is an "off the wall" request and you responded anyway. I'm going back into the background now. I'm smart enough to know that I need to stay out of the smart people's way. You are going to be very busy. Keep up the good work!"

Bill's Response: "Thanks. You're right. I would run out of parts. I'm sending two that we made. Both were produced as part of the production runs for NAVAIR qualification approval."
