should have written this sooner but better late than never for sure.
ron and i had a great time at the gpc convention.
a very professionally run seminar with a chance to meet again both new and old friends.
dont know if ill get to many more but if this was my last one i sure went out with a bang.
what a great bunch of people.
like i said to ron many many times before " bad people dont grow giant pumpkins"
this seminar proved that once again.

Mr Dick Wallace...This hobby iZ what it is...upon great efforts ..efforts over the yearZ not my one, but by many, many who have contributed to itZ successes.. including the dreation of BigPumpkins.com...> but there is one man who standZ out amoungst the crowd...

Hmmm letZ flip the switch on time In a period not long ago.. A seed was planted... a tiny pumpkin grown, tiny at the time but unbeknownst to all...what a giant it would become.. and the growers it would motivate.

I look at it as the first Mycho sporeZ laid into a fertile soil. A man with a dream, a man with a plan. A man with a heart of gold, augmented with talent, and a sense of humor, a combination rarely found but truly appreciated.
That man iZ you LordOlderBunZ.

PumpkinToonZ, epic and always a good laugh, the growth hormones of a hobby and a community that would grow to what it has become today...a sense of humor mimic'd by some, but never duplicated in quality and quantity. The forethought to create a gentic cross to build a foundation, to build the future of world record growZ, and the generosity to spread that magic seed...

But something I admire the most... iZ that twinkle in your eye, and the kindness of your heart.. The Orange Angel Foundation... to give back, and help others. A strength of character... not motivated by $%$%$ but by a true desire to help others grow inside and outside... I can only speak for my self, but I know this to be true of others, any others who have crossed the path of Dick Wallace. You are a fine man Mr. Wallace, a rare find, a true diamond in the sand! Thank You Sir >^> You have been my motivation, My energy, My teacher... But to parallel the words of the late Leonard Nimoy... You have been, and will always be my friend.. Live long and prosper
