Bob,
I don't know you, but I don't have to to appreciate your genuine thoughts--what a great acceptance speech if you will, very humbling indeed. You are clearly a fine gentleman and grounded in what is good in life and understanding in what holds us here. Dick Kirby would be very proud and yes I agree that he knows!
Congratulations on this and all of your accomplishments in call-making, I suspect this will not be the only award you receive. I look forward someday to have the privilage to meet you and well, talk some turkey

The memories will always be yours. The hard work, the passion, the desire, the commitment and dedication are all worth it--trust me I know that all too well. As they say when the going gets tough the tough keep going.
Dang good looking call you built. Gregg, that was an honorable gift you offered--beautiful work. Scott
