2012 Challenge

[John Truitt]

Mark,
You already know how I feel about all of your years of service and hard work.
Thank you.

Guys we are very lucky to have Carl stepping up to the plate. Many of you do not know this but Carl's family ( I believe grandfather) is from Meriden.
We have a true blood, Parker flows thru his veins.
Thank you Carl.

It's true. I was born in Meriden, Conn, USA, just like my favorite guns, about a mile from the old plant... Except for the few born in Illion, NY.

Thanks to all for their votes of conficence. I will most likely be asking for your help at next year's Challenge. A BIG THANKS to Mark for all his hard work, which will make stepping into his shoes that much easier.

Carl.

PS: As of today, it looks like the weather for the Southern will be great. Highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s with chance of precipitation at 10% or less. Looking forward to seeing you all again.
