I think of Roland quite a lot, I wish I was closer to him - but I couldn't have been further away here in new Zealand.
I miss calling him and e-mailing.
I hope Roland is at peace and that new journeys are ahead of him.

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
Tom, what a great post about Roland! Lyle I too was told by Roland he had at the peak around 10 thousand Knives. Toms memories about his conversations and Roland's amazing etiquette of his need for the buyer to be extremely happy with the purchase, I too at times was told that he was selling knives ...

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
Thank you for posting this up justbob, I think of Roland constantly, I wonder how his family are doing- as Roland had a younger daughter, I also wonder how his little wee dog that he loved so much is doing as well! I get extremely sad thinking of the end, Roland having to say good bye to his wee dog...

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
Dan, Thank you matey for the update, and for being such a good friend to Roland. I too have had many dealings with Roland, I wished I was closer to him geographically, if so I would have visited often, but we talked over the phone quite a lot and e-mailed, and I did buy many of his knives. Roland- a...

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
That is correct, I might be as guilty as everyone - quoting Roland's last name with the Proctor or Procter - with the English language I guess it may be easier to automatically go for the following E - I'm not too sure :( Roland's e-mail spelt his name as Procter Its so nice to see friends coming in...

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
I too have been wanting to post and ask the same question. I had my last Phone call with Roland and we said goodbye- so I "pushed it" and e-mailed him-soon after - it was just so hard to stop having contact with a friend.... So he replied twice as we communicated- but in his last he said t...

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
Hi everyone As mentioned, it is nice to see Rolands Knife friends coming and saying such nice things about him. I'm a little weary of e-mailing Roland as last time I did - it must be a week or nearly a couple of weeks ago- then it was a toll for Roland to answer - so to burden him even more so is no...

Re: ROLAND UPDATE
Roland I consider a friend, and the only reason I am posting this is because Roland is looked upon very favourably here in AAPK, so because there isn't a lot of news about our friend about, I thought I would update - simply for your benefits, so you can think of Roland and send him positive thoughts...
