thanks Don for doing a great job.  :smt003 It is a sacrifice to put in the time, which I am learning now. I am in training to do more for the DFW chapter and am being kept busy with all of that.

Just got back from a long event weekend and it went off without a hitch. Got a few new veterans in the chapter and one of them gave us a great complement. He stated he would have had anxiety being in a group but was far more relaxed with his fellow soldiers. He did real well then entire weekend and looks forward to our next event in four weeks. That makes our sacrifice worth it all.

Are you sure your not moving to Mexico and hanging out with seniore pond?
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

Thank you all your many many hours making HOW  what it is today! You have had a huge impact in many people's lives that needed a relatable person who could be there. Take car of you and your family, they are everything.
