Hi Gang,

Let me tell you what type of person Mike Barkley is. He's top shelf as far as I'm concerned. As some of you know I was unable to attend the Charlotte show do to health reasons. Mike compileds photos from the show and put them on CD and sent me a copy. This CD was not something thrown together but was a project that was time consuming. I realize he did not just make this CD just for me but and he didn't have to send a copy me but he did. It's nice to be able to put faces to the names of some of the good people here. Mike also included a CD containing 911 pictures and again it was a project that took some time to do. I'm not ashamed to say that the 911 CD brought a few tears to my eyes.

Mike I thanked you in the email I sent you but felt I owed you more than just an email.

Again thank you and God Bless

I got the pleasure of rooming with Mike in Charlotte. He is a stand-up guy and we had a blast down there. He's sent me the same two CD's and they are well put together; Mike sure knows his way around a computer!

Did you ever get the antlers, Hank??

Hi Putter,

Yes I did thank you - I sent you an email letting you know I received them ok. I guess you didn't get it. Either that or you got it and don't remember it - Have you been playing with the stun gun again? - LOL Again thanks - and sorry about the email. I would have post something nice about you too but everybody already knows you're a nice guy, a Prince amoung men, top shelf - I have to stop now, your wife said it took 3 days to get the swelling out of your head the last time you were praised. She said you had to walk sideways to get through the door. - LOL

That's because the cat is afraid it's going to get marbled!

I have only met Mike via email and feel like he is a neighbor next door for years. He is a wonderful giving and sharing person. He is also ex Navy so that makes him top shelf and a bit of a red, white and blueblood like me. He and that Putter guy make a real pair of human beings, along with quite a few of you other blokes. Thank you all for renewing my faith in humans.
