I was informed, several times, that Denny is only sent so that Seeker has someone to keep Jim under observation all weekend.

I will join Denny in saying THANK YOU to all, and just add to keep the record straight, Seeker sends me to keep Denny from running totally AMUK. I know that's not the way he tells the story, but that's my story and I'm syticking to it.

Steve, you're not helping my cause but my story is I was giving seminars when you were there. Tom, I'm truly envious. Not only for the space but all of the toys inside.

Tom....I would not call that a tool shed....A personal "Work Shop" for product development and research, is more like it to me,,,,I only wish I lived nearby and would probably be your security guard, "goffer" or whatever to be able to be a part of it...Amazing and way too cool a place to hang out and tinker with any crazy ideas that come to mind........Thanks for the tour.....I am soooo jealous and envious,,,,,,Denny

I have a problem with Denny and want to make it clear to him to never speak to my wife again. While at dinner Saturday night he told her stories about Alaska and Hawaii and now she says that we have to go there on vacations real soon. So I hope you're happy to know that I'll be bankrupt real soon.

It was great spending some time with Denny, Darin and Jim and hope you guys can come down to Louisiana for a visit sometime.

It was great to see Jim and Denny again and a pleasure to meet Darin. I had a bunch of laughs at the booth and l'm already planning my first Seeker build, now if I can just cast like Darin.

Denny there was a problem with your act at the dinner table that went unnoticed by some - based upon your vivid and poetic descriptions - the two ladies at the table were ready to follow you into the sunset to see the white sands and blue waters of your Pacific Paradise - UNTIL - they witnessed you consume the uncooked cow on your plate!

Bill,,,I had a hard time eating that"rare" prime rib....a little too red for me but I was hungry and didn't want to complain to the waitress. But having "good company and good food "is a treat for me, enjoyed every minute. . Thanks,,Bill......Aloha,,,,Denny
