Thanks for all the congratulatory postings, emails and phone calls. I appreciate all the support that I received from so many.

Congratulations to Neal, Marty, Dave and Ralph. I look forward to working with all of you.

My thanks and admiration goes out to Jim Steffner and Jim Reilly. They both ran outstanding races and brought out the best in all of us. The same goes for the other candidates - Ken Hallenbeck, Jim Episale and Tom Hartel.

A special thanks to Gene Trimble, our Elections Chairman and the committee that devoted their time to this very important process.

I look forward to assuming the position of President of our wonderful organization at the convention.

We all need to understand that what makes this a great club is the volunteers that give so much of themselves. I will be looking for more members to volunteer to help us move forward. If you are interested in helping, please contact me.
