where is Dwight from? working on a post contest followup release.

Sorry I missed it again and wasn't able to help out. Darn fall allergies!

9/21/2009 2:27:16 PM

Allergies kept you from a wieghoff??/!!! (Obviously not a grower)......

LI Pumpkin - a little more complicated than that, but you're right - not a grower, yet. Just work with the big guys to promote the contest in my regular paying job.

Ragweed season is a bear for those who suffer; and if you don't have allergies, come to KY and you'll have them for the first time in your life.

Wayne, John or Frank - let me know everyone's home town. The writer for the PR will want that info and I can get it out.

Kyjabber, Don't take LI pumpkin the wrong way, he only says stuff like that because he likes ya,,lol,,, it took me a couple years to figure him out, and the guy would do anything for any grower out there in this hobby today, he just has a tuff time showing his inner feelings,,,,,aint that right Glenn?! HA!
