Thank you gentlemen and I want to thank everyone who attended my birthday party last night at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse …

[George M. Purtill]

and a great party it was!!

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Hey Mike, I believe we have the same birthday--mine is 4/24/54. I turned 61 Friday and spent the day shooting at Drakes in the morning and then to Southern SXS in the afternoon. I am sorry we did not meet, as I was looking forward to meeting you. Well, there is always next year.

[Mike Franzen]

Harold you are the 1st person I know to have the same birthday as me. I was hoping to meet you as well. We probably walked by each other several times. Maybe we should wear name tags. I plan on attending more events this year and the next one we are both going to be at lets raise a glass to our shared birthdays… or any other reason

[George M. Purtill]

Maybe we should wear name tags.

We absolutely should have name tags. I am fortunate to have met Mike by accident. I would have loved to have met Harold. I was looking for Ralph English and never found him. Probably walked right by me as well.

[Jim Wescott]

Yes, happy birthday Mike, ye olde turkey slayer!

[Mike Franzen]

George, meeting you was one of the highlights of my weekend. You are one of my favorite Parker People! I had the honor of sitting with George Lander and his son Billy at the HOF banquet. I got a little better acquainted with Bruce Day and got great advice on a new gun purchase from him. I also met Larry and Debbie Frey, Mills, Alan Swanson, Mike McKinney and a few others for the first time. I was hoping to meet Harold Pickens, Rich Anderson, Mark Oulette, and many others but I didn't see them or if I did I wouldn't have known it. One of the reasons I go every year is to meet you guys that I share time with on this forum. Maybe next year we could have a designated time to meet at the tent, put on a name tag and spend an hour putting faces to names. Anyway, I had a great time but, George when I said I only missed 3, I meant times they called me to the line - not targets.
