First let me thank the Committee for selecting me for this award.
Second I had no idea it was coming or had been awarded until I got a little package with a pin in it and I texted Romig and Kuss. I didn't go to the Annual meeting or anywhere at that time as I was on COVID #2 after coming home from the hospital for a 4 day stay for a nasty Staph infection. 24 hour IV antibiotics. My wife says it was from the High School Pool showers that I frequent 4 times a week. I think its my sockless adventures working at our farm. BTW I was vaxxed and boosted.
Third because I had to look up this on the Forum, I had to look up my name and password so I could get on!! I almost called Dunkle. That's assuming he would remember me.
Fourth I can't believe Kobos hadn't already gotten it. Maybe because he was ineligible due to his position? He was decades overdue.
Finally, it has made me feel bad for not being more attentive to the Forum and my long lost PGCA friends. With two kids getting married, COVID, and my added legal responsibilities as a United States Bankruptcy Trustee, I have been too busy. I need to pull some of those dusty Parker shotguns out of the safe and go shooting at Addieville. I have kept hunting with Parkers but this year will be difficult without Charlie (Charles Parker). He was only 7 but I had to put him to sleep two weeks ago because of cancer. He will be missed this fall. His picture is somewhere on the Forum.
Again, thanks to the Committee for this award. It makes me feel even older.
OOPS- Charlie's picture is on my avatar. There you go.
