A big Thank You from Swampland

On behalf of Bill, Bobby, Rachael and Myself I want to thank everyone who came by our booth and visited with us. I wish I would have had the time to thank each and everyone individually and have been able to spend more time with everyone but as most of you know I had a nagging cough and chest congestion that kept me feeling pretty bad during the show.

I certainly know that without the help of my wife Rachael, Bill and Bobby that that none of it would have been possible.

I'm still not home yet. Rachael and I decided to go towards the mountains and spend a couple of days in Gatlinburg. I know I received several online orders from some of you and when I get back my first priority will be to get your orders shipped out as quickly as possible. I should be arriving home on Thursday and will work hard to get all orders sent out on Friday.

Thanks again,

Lance

Lance, it was nice to speak with you & Rachel - it's always a pleasure to see you guys. I'm glad your cold went away at some point. It was also nice ot see Bill, and to meet Bobby Feasel, great guys as well. I was a little disappointed that Bobby didnt' get me any power supply thingys for my rods, lol.

You guys worked as hard or harder than anybody involved in the show-Bill's energy level is nothing short of amazing. I for one appreciate your efforts. Even without the special prices, the seminars and the opportunity to hold components in your hand-the weekend would have been a success for me-spending quality time with good folks who share the same passion for rod building would have been enough.

I really enjoyed your displays. I think I drove Bobby crazy with the media questions I had. Mr. Stevens gave me a casting lesson with the micro guided rods he had. And yes I bought some. I enjoyed the flocking seminar by him as well. The castaway blanks were great and I can't wait to build my first castaway micro guide rod!!! Thanks you for coming to the expo.

Enjoyed getting to know and visiting with my fellow cajun neighbors. Enjoy those mountains and come see me when you get a little closer to home.
