    Hey guys wave out the window. We are home now.

    SE and Mrs.SE and Green M&M showed up at the shop this afternoon. "Oh wow a refrigeration shop, just what we came to the Vermont to see."

    Okay, enought about business. The War Department and I were over decorating the hall and taking care of some last minutes details.

    Scott and Liz look great as ever. Wow wait till you see green m n m. She is a knock-out and a lot of fun. Her last words to me were, "Where's a bar with a pool table."

    Oh, man this is going to be a weekend.!!!!!!!

    Everyone was so glad to see everyone and meet the new folks that we broke into an unplaned tailgate party right there in the parking lot of the hotel.

    Oh man! You ain't see nothing yet. My sides already hurt from laughing with these guys and gals.

    It has been a great weekend. The town is beautiful and the people here are very nice. I think everybody has had their fill of booze. It is nice to actually meet the people with whom I have talked to for so long. I am looking forward to meeting everyone again next year and hopefully the new ones that will come as well. Beenie you and your wife did an excelent job this weekend. Everyone is very gratefull for all the hospitality. I don't have a spell check on this freaking computer so excuse the miss spelling. Thank you again bennie. It has been a blast.

    We had breakfast with Scott at 7:00 this morning. I was very fuzzy then and still am 14 hours later. Between Muskie, Frozensolid and Refertek I really dont think I was ever really sober this weekend......

    HOLLY HELL WHAT A WEEKEND !!!
    Does the "What goes on in Bennington stays in Bennington " rule still apply ?? lol

    I just got home after a 6 hour drive that I have been dreading . It really sucked having to leave that beautifull town of Jerry's . It truely was a GREAT time , though as others said , Bennington will never be the same again . They are probobally escorting Jerry and The War Dept . out to the city line and telling them to never return as we speak !! lol

    Jerry and Mary Lou , I can not thank you 2 enough for every thing you 2 went through to make this weekend happen and happen in great way . You two BY FAR exceded my expectations for the weekend . I only feel sorry for selfemployed now . He has high standards to beat after this year . I have faith in him though !

    I can not wait to see some of the pictures when they are posted !!! LMAO

    I hope everyone made it home ok .

    Nobody has to beat anybody... This is all about fellowship.
    We just need a host and the whole party thing happens itself.
