 October 2nd, 2005 Uncle Bill joins Folders-R-Us.ORG as our knife expert 

For more than a year, Folders-R-Us.ORG has been left in the shade a little, due to my heavy involvement with M1911.ORG and to the fact that our knife expert, Brownie, had resigned, due to family obligations. Since then, very little was done here, even though I have increased my knives collection a little. Starting this month, we have a new person who will act as our knives expert, so you can expect this site to be revived.

Bill R. Grasso, our knife expert from now on, is a knife enthusiast for more than 10 years, with participation in several discussion forums on the net. Although he does not have the experience of Brownie, his enthusiasm and love for the knives, is a real asset for this site. His first knife test, will be published here soon. So please join me in welcoming Unle Bill to Folders-R-Us.ORG site. Welcome on board Bill.

 September 21st, 2004 Brownie resigned 

Our knife expert and the second person behind this Internet site, Brownie, had to give up his duties here, for personal reasons. As a result, this site is without a knife expert. If you think you can take over Brownie's position, in evaluating new knives and in providing visitors with real knowledge on cutlery and especially on tactical folders, please e-mail me.

Brownie's departure will bring a delay in the rate our tests appear, since I won't have access to the knives he had for testing, so please don't be too hard on me.

 September 11th, 2004 September 11th 

On this sad day of rememberance, I would like to send my most sincere condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives, on that day. I would also like to send my most sincere wishes to all those who helped relieve the pain, from those who suffered, in various ways. The NYFD and NYPD personel, as well as the simple people who helped all those who suffered, either during or after the attacks.

My hopes, expressed some years ago, that this was the last madness our world witnesses, were proved wrong, again and again during those years, with the attack against the Russian school being the epitome of this madness.

May God forgive all those who caused so much pain.
