...all the event planners involved in the Smokies event. It was an awesome time with a great group of friends. It was well organized and from what I could see, everything went smoothly. I know how much work and effort that takes and I would like to commend all of you for a job well done!!!

...again, thank you Brad Beaman (Eagle1) and his whole family for arranging the dinner for the Auburn event. It was a perfect place and you all went above and beyond my expectations!! You can work with me on any event any time!!!

...it was great seeing all my "old" friends and it was fun meeting lots of "new" ones. It's helpful to be able to put faces with names and screen names. It just seems like there is never enough time to visit at length with everyone. I guess that's why we keep attending the events..got to catch up with everyone at some point!!

...Gary & Kelly A......thanks for the kind words, support and friendship. Thanks, Gary, for the compliments on my driving down the Dragon's Tail!! I consider that high praise!! Even if Bob wouldn't let me go the second time!! It was great seeing you both again.

...Marty & Reba.....thanks for your friendship and support...always great seeing both of you. We had fun as we always do with you guys. Oh....and we'll send the labor bill soon!!! lol! You've got your own support crew!!

...Olivier...........what can I say...you are the best!!! I sure hope we see you again at another event soon.. Lord, those chocolates looked good!!! Thanks again for the special t-shirt and cap!!

...WildBill...thanks for being such a great friend...you're the best!

...Rich and Linda......next time we'll have more time to spend together....see you at CTC!!

...Ed and Sandy......it's always a blast with you two!! Ed..I think you should be the official MC for all the POA events.........you are just too much!!!

...Roman.......it's a darn good thing you can take the teasing as well as you hand it out.. Now that you've discovered you're only 3 hours away, don't be a stranger!!

...I'm not going to try to list everyone 'cause I don't want to risk forgetting anyone, but I just want to say that I always look forward to the next event so that we can see our friends again. You are the best bunch ever!!

...Thanks again to all of you who participated in the Auburn parade event. It would not have been the same without you. I received an email from Todd Esterline and here is what he had to say.....Hi CJ You and your people are awesome! You made things go very well. I hope you and the club had a good time. The people loved you!! We loved you! Thank you again. Todd

Two more great events have ended, but with lots of stories and memories. See you all the next time!

I want to thank all the people who helped clean up after the dinner, It helped shorten the time my family would have spent at the museum to take down the tables etc.

I am sorry I can't make the Sunday the 7th cruise in.

Scotty I Told you Miss Fort Wayne Was cute...
