There are only five days left until our get together at Lamiglas starts. But there is still time for any of you that are sitting on the fence and have not decided to come and join us. All you have to do is send an e-mail to [[email protected]] and Todd will start to warm up a seat for you.

Batson Enterprises will be there represented by Karry Batson & myself. We have an opprtunity to display our products at this event. Todd Vivian was nice enough to invite us again and give us an area to display. We will also have an opportunity to share the Batson Vision & new products at a seminar 3 different time in the morning on Saturday. We are looking forward to this event as we do every event, and a chance we get to share what we do for this industry. It makes it nice that it is only a 4 hr drive from here. Come and enjoy this gathering of knowledgeable individuals who are willing to share with all. Opportunities like this do not come very often, I would take advantage if I were a rodbuilder in the area.
Todd & the entire Lamiglas company are very generous with there time and the use of there facilty to make this happen. I hope to see alot of old friends & make a few new ones.

Well said Bill. I am sure that everyone will appreciate the effort and expense that you and the other vendors who will be displaying put into this as well. I completely agree with you about the generosity of Todd and Lamiglas. They essentially shut the whole plant down during this event. It takes a lot of effort on their part and we should also not forget that two years ago Batson Enterprises was the generous host.
You are going to bring "Lucky" along with you? It looks like the whole Columbia will be closed. Where does he think that he is going to catch the Springers? The best bet will be either the North Fork of the Lewis or the Willamette.

I will be pulling a trailer and probably hit traffic. If you know me I always give myself extra time as not to be late or have someone expecting me there and not show up when I say I will be there. If I wasn't pulling a trailer and did not hit traffic I could make it in 2.5 hrs. I am not sure if we will be there on Sunday, it depends on the fishing.. I need a day off sometime..

Bill,
the fishing has been a day to day thing. One day not a bump, the next red hot.......... If it follows the current trend.......Sunday will be a not so hot day............. But if you have Karry with you........it will always be a hot day.

See you Friday,

Todd
