Without letting the cat out of the bag I want to say thanks to Tom for the special gift in the latest Rodmaker. It will be interesting to see where this leads. Even better would be to look back ten years from now and know that we were all in on the very beginning of it. The very first ones. Thanks again Tom.

I SPOTTED ONE TODAY ON A HONDA ELEMENT!!! Couldn't catch up to him so couldn't discuss it with him. But was pleasantly surprised to find another one of "us" here locally! Or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. I'll be on the lookout.

Thanks Tom for being the glue that binds all of together. What a great idea you had and now that idea is shared with all of us and I know that it will be shared with many others that are not with us now but will be with us in the near future. As said above it is going to be interesting to watch the future and see this grow. Again Thanks for the idea and the willingness to share it with all of us.

Mine has arrived! Fantastic idea. This is the sort of thing you wonder why somebody did not come up earlier. But even if they had, I would wonder if they would have gone about it in this true not for profit fashion. I think it will be a winner.

Don,

If you were to subscribe within the next couple weeks. your first copy would be the current issue. So you wouldn't need to order a back issue.

If you'd rather not subscribe and just want it as a back issue, this issue will go on back issue sale about the first of September. Volume 11 #4.

Nearly 15,000 went out with the most recent issue of RodMaker. Most have not received it yet. Another 5,000 or so are on their way to dealers and manufacturers in the industry who plan to distribute them among their customers. I have a plan to get the rest out and will unveil the details shortly.
