<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just wanted to say thanks to all of the people I
met in Waco this weekend. I didn't fly, but sure got a lot of good answers
to questions I had about getting started in pattern. That was probably the
most helpful bunch of people I've met in a long time. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was unsure about getting into pattern because I
was led to believe that I would find an elitest group of snobs. It's a
good thing I found out for myself, because nothing could be further from the
truth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will definitely be trying my hand at pattern
competition, and it was a pleasure to meet you all. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looking forward to Temple,</FONT></DIV>
