I have to miss this year because of surgery but I look forward to returning. I hope everyone has a blast.

Hope your surgery is quick and the healing process is even faster.
Vicki and I sure did enjoy meeting you and visiting around the Stovebolt HQ's.

As of Monday of this week, I've graduated from a wheelchair and a knee walker to a pair of crutches, but I'm scheduled for 3 days a week of physical therapy for the next six weeks! I guess not being a speed bump for an 18-wheeler was a good thing, but crashing that Gold Wing sure put a crimp in my summer/fall schedule! Next year for sure!

I've been away from the puter for a few days.
Frank, got you added to the list.
And Leo, I think Vicki has a crush on you. She said you reminded her of the guy on the Mario video games when you were swinging from the tree, hanging the StoveBolt flag last year.
I will not tell her that you may not be there until, she is in the truck on the way there.
Here is the updated list. Please check it to make sure the info is right.
Thanks
Don

He's got a plane ticket and hotel reservation so far. I think he hopes to be in on Thursday so he can have some of that pre-event "quiet time" at the Alderson's.
(Leo, he may have snagged your room!)

For some reason, this is an awfully busy weekend. Maybe (on our end) because it will be a week of it with the long drive.
Got you added to the list and we'll see you Sunday.
