I really need to visit this forum more often.
Like most, I met Whitey through this or another internet forum. We exchanged emails, phone calls, traded guns, and I helped him with a few of his projects...once, when he found out I had acquired an old South-Bend lathe and was getting it in shape and tooled up to use, said "you need a tool post grinder for that machine". In about a week, a nearly new DuMore tool post grinder, complete in its steel box, showed up on the UPS truck.
Whitey was a retired Air Force veteran, and one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet.
Godspeed, Whitey...save a spot for me.
