Dad Mundy promised that the first grandchild would get his first rocking chair (now an antique). Lori won out with Haiden so when dad was on the east coast he found another one like his in pretty bad shape. Bought it for $25, sent it home for $50. Had a local guy rebuild it to its current form who was offered over a $1,000 for it in his shop. Lets just not say how much my dad actually paid for the final product. If we knew I am afraid Ronda would have it covered in plastic until our son reaches 20.
