[Fulltiming]

Tom, we want to thank you and Darlene for all of your hard work in pulling this rally together. After Todd and Clarke got the ball rolling, you pulled together the T-shirts, the mugs and glasses, the prize give-away's, the agenda for technical sessions and the pot luck dinners.

We have had a wonderful time and had the opportunity to meet for the first time, so many of the folks who post on this site regularly as well as reunite with old friends. This is a great group of people and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I don't know how you managed to pull of two evenings of green skies and hail but that was fairly spectacular in itself. Fortunately, with the exception of a couple of cars, I am not aware of any damage. I had the opportunity to assist a couple of folks with their coaches and had help from others on several issues on mine. As this website's byline states, this was truly "Friends Helping Friends".

There is never enough time to spend getting to better know each other but this has been a great week with delicious food, and great camaraderie.

A special thanks to John and Vicki Clark and to Newell for their participation.

The quality that goes into Newells is why we own one, the friendship and care of the factory staff and management and Newell owners is the reason we stay with Newell.

Thanks to all of those who joined us, whether for a couple of days or the entire week. We look forward to seeing all of your again.
