Utmost Enterprises has been a wholesale supplier in the rodbuilding industry for almost 15 years now. During this time, we have built some very close relationships with our customers, vendors and many others in the rodbuilding family. For those of you who are not aware, Mick Batson, owner of Utmost, lost his wife to cancer on July 1st, 2007. Services were held this past Saturday, July 28 in Sequim, Washington. Dorothy had been a classmate of Mick's at Leuzinger High School in Lawndale, California. She came into Mick's life a little over six years ago after an old high school friend set them up on a blind date. They were married a year later and moved to Sequim, Washington nearly four years ago. We want to thank everyone who has been praying for the family and supporting us through this difficult time.

Carol,

Give Mick my best wishes, and let him know that I know exactly how he feels!! I lost my dear wife, of nearly 20 years, to a brain stem bleed on May 25th, 2005. Just 19 days after her 41st birthday, and just 27 days before our 20th wedding anniversary. If he needs anyone to talk to, please relay my email address to him. Prayers to you all!!!

Bill in WV
