[Swimmer]

Last night when Bigfish called out the last number to the red ticket that I was clutching to the point that all color was leaving my fingers I was overjoyed. The patriotic plug was sitting on the kitchen table this morning when my wife came downstairs. It has sinced been temporarily moved to a table behind the couch. Bev doesn't know it yet but it is going up on the mantle next to the plaque that my new best friend BasicPatrick helped me win last year on the Vineyard. Larry, you did a wonderful job turning the plug and to the yound man who masterfully painted the plug I will let you both know now that it will never leave my possesion or the mantle. I am so proud to own it I am almost overwhelmed. I am also hnored to have helped out Children's Hospital like everyone else was and is for sure. We have a great club full of wonderful members who give selflessly to so many for so little recognition. Also to everyone on this list, Jon and his family most of all, tight lines and I'll see you on the Vineyard. Oh ya one more thing, watch out for Bassmaster, when he put his arm around me when I was walking over to the prize table I didn't know what was going to happen. It turned out O.K. though I guess I wasn't his type.
