Well after the teaser I posted while texting and driving John called and talked to Charlie and me for 2 hours while we drove back. We told him that Charlie and Allen were awarded Distinguished Service Awards and that there was some other d--------d also but nobody had heard of him and he didn't even show and he got it because he was some crony of somebody else . And John was saying what kind of ass.... gets an award like that and doesn't even show up, and we were stifling a laugh and it wasn't easy. We talked about all that was happening and several times about this jerk that didn't even show up.
Well we get finally back to Charlie's house and about then we get this call from John again who by this time has read John Davis's post and he finds out he is the third awardee and you should have heard the howls . We got him good. We thought for sure he would catch on, but that's our John
And we had three great Parker people who so deservedly were recognized and John couldn't make the meeting because he was trying to get back from Haiti and you know what he does down there.
So the initial post about John asking what happened at the annual meeting , I kind of thought if I posted something that teased but did not answer John's question, he might be interested in talking about by telephone and we just might be able to pull off a litlle trick on John and not tell him who got the third award and darned if it didn't work. Now the problem is that paybacks are hell but that's for another day with our friend John.
We sent John a bunch of photos he said he would post.
