possibly 'our best ever!'

Tom, it was truly a delight to be in attendance, and of course,
extra special personally to be included in the performing aspect
of this event.
Wow! You continue to amaze us with your steadfast ability to
organize this yearly celebration.
Thanks to you as Host, and to all your volunteers with combined
efforts in presenting this unique homage to The Ventures these
past 9 years.
And thanks to all you attendees, without your support this event
would not be possible, it was wonderful to spend time together
with you!
Jeff Green - representing The Pickniks with Grant Green, Bob
Kenney, John Ramski

Thanx Jeff for your kind words on behalf of yourself & the band.
What made me 'feel
especially' good after this year's gathering was hearing from
BOB SPALDING a week
later giving 'all of us' a big thumbs up for another fine
effort. We did have a few
blunders that took place throughout the day & I've since
'huddled' with both
WALT & BERNIE, heard them out & jotted down a half dozen tips
going
forward. That's right, next year we'll incorporate several
changes
'into the mix' in our quest to get 'fest day' nearly perfect in
'everyone's' minds!
Hey gang- looks as tho I logged into the site as WALT but trust
me he'd give both above
posts his absolute approval!

Ha! You had me fooled for a moment while I was believing the
above message was from wstagner.
So...now who do you think we should suppose you are? Are you
alias Tom BaltWalt?
Ha! OK...I'll be Jeff EverGreen

LOL- Always good gettin' an immediate response,
even if it's one that's 'mocking' in nature! But I
do understand- I'm an easy target!

I'm just having fun with you; you are a friend, and really good
guy!
But...you are a Venture's nut! However, regarding that subject,
you're not alone!
