Guys,
Thank you for everything. I really appreciate the nice words. I think I was as surprised as anybody with the outcome of this years competition. Its been a personal goal of mine for the past 2 years but never imagined it would happen the way it did. I truly appreciate everyone who has supported me and my calls over the years. Its hard to beleive I've been making calls for just over 9 years now and the best thing I've gotten out of it are some great friends. Bill, I'm glad you decided at the last minute to make the trip to Nashville this year, it really meant a lot to me that you were there. Dave, thanks for posting that picture. I was honored to stand on the stage with you and even more honored to be a part of that picture. Those guys are not only great callmakers but even better friends and some of the greatest people I know. I look forward and truly enjoy spending time with you guys every year.
I'm glad I got to finally meet some of you this year. Dave and Ted, I enjoyed hanging out on Thursday as my nerves were just about shot. I had a great time running calls with you outside of the convention center, you guys make a killer pot call. Guys, thanks again for everything.
Ed
