<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ken,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for the kind words. I would also
like to send out a big thanks to everybody that helped with this event.
There is no way I could have put this on with out everybody's help, and I mean
everybody. We had 15 pilots in this contest, that creates a judging
concern. Almost everybody had to judge two times, and some judged three
times. Nobody complained about anything. Just shows what a great
bunch of people showed up. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mother Nature was very kind to us this
weekend. We could not have asked for better weather. Low winds,
and clear blue skies. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the barbeque, I agree it was a blast.
Tons of food, and once again everybody helped out. Next year will be even
better. My wife Cindy, and Linda Jesky went above and beyond, we
could not have did it without their help. I would also like to thank Ken
Thompson's wife for helping my wife in the kitchen, and Ken and his wife
also stuck around after the party and helped clean up. What a great
weekend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks again,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to thank Mike Darr for another great
contest. The line ran well, thanks Bob, and the barbeque was
awesome. Good food, a few cold brews and some great foamie
flying! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A special thanks to Mike's wife Cindy for all she
did and for letting us bunch of animals tromp through the house.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Between Cindy's baked goods and Linda Jesky's
chocolate chip cookies, I'm right back up to my usual weight, thanks ladies.
