Web ID: 233A Friends gift of time
Before I get into the story of how my wife and I received this fine Waterford Crystal clock, let me put the emphasis on FINE. We have many pieces of Waterford Crystal, all prized possesstions, however this pieces holds lasting memories of friends that we miss very much. A brief history - I am a disabled U.S. Navy Vet now retire after 24 years of service. Shortly after my wife and I married, I received transfer orders to Supreme Hedquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). SHAPE is located in Mons, Belgium. One might ask 'what is a Navy guy doing in Belgium?'. Well, SHAPE is the military headquarters for NATO and all branches of services from all NATO nations are represented. Let me shorten this by saying this was my BEST assignment and we made great friends from many different nations. Several of our international friends, including BJ and Caroline (BJ was in the British Army), met us at the airport as we left Belgium for the States. We had been in Belgium for 4 years. This Waterford Crystal Clock was the gift they gave us as we departed. I can not tell you how much we prize this clock Our clock not only holds sentimental value but is a FINE piece of art. P.S. While in Belgium we traveled to Ireland and visited the Waterford Crystal factory - the craftmanship is amazing.
