There is not much I could add to the sentiments already expressed before me.

Additionally, I walked away with the Ned award. I can't express what that means to me in words, and I hope to make my addition in the spirit of the award, tasteful and relevant. I cherish the friendships and the memories.

John, this year I took photos with a focus on those of us that define the hobby, the human element. We have dozens and dozens of photos of our trucks, in perfect light and settings. We don't need more. I hope you find a few good ones "of all of us" and work the magic you do in graphic arts and photo editing. I can't wait for the link to your final edits.

Thanks to all those who worked behind the scenes with John and Peg, the place looked fantastic, from the O.R., the pole barn, the garage..........and the view from the top. Manicured.

My best to Peg, and thank you for welcoming us to your home, and the farm.
