"Thanks to all of you for a most enjoyable and informative weekend!"
Mike Hastings, 2008 Class Member

Here's the rest of Mike's message:
"Thanks to all of you for a most enjoyable and informative weekend! Kathy and I were most impressed by everything that we were exposed to. It's going to take awhile for it all to sink into my thick head but I know I learned a bunch. I'm so looking forward to firing this unit up and getting after it.
We are still trying to get information on trailers to see which direction we go there but hope to be up and running by mid-2009 and you all will have played a major part in that. I would like information on the CVap when you start selling that as well... Thanks again for everything! You all are wonderful and I've been singin' your praises to all that I talk with."
Happy Holidays ...
Mike Hastings
