He loves and enjoys are hobby/sport as much as anyone and with his determination and drive the contest was scheduled and conducted. The town is small, the club does not have an abundance of members but the contest that is held each year is as much fun as any other that we attend. I wanted to think Ihncheol for his efforts and I also would like to extend my personal thanks to all that attended (19). Especially those that made long treks to get there. Art, Mike, Wayne, Robert, Joe and everyone else that came. Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska and Texas were represented. I hope you all had as much fun and felt the hospitality as much as I did. All of the contests and the wives that were in attendance jumped in and did anything and everything that could help make this contest a success, and succeed they did. It makes one proud to be a part of our pattern community, I am sure we have all seen situations similar and have had similar thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Enough of the soap box, but thanks so much to everyone for making the contest this weekend.
