Dear friends, I have Just arrived back to Brazil and this is why I took some time to write you back.

I honestly need to say that to personal meet with all of you was one of the most important event that I had the opportunity to be in, in fact was a dream which became thru. I could meet some of the greatest names of the Rod building and customization and I hope do not forget all tips I have received, as well as, information about new components and techniques learned during the workshop. I need to give a special thank to Mr. Tom Kirkman for the kindly reception in the show he gave to me. Many virtual friends which became real and I will take this opportunity to apologize my personal difficulties with the English language and I do hope you understand.

From the bottom of my Brazilian heart I want once again to thank all of you guys.

Marco Antonio.
