Monte and Patsee Jumper made a huge effort in welcoming strangers to a feast and great companionship of fellow "heads", spouses and tag alongs. The Jumpers should be proud of thier new shop and the business they built together. They are a great example for the beginers in the trade to aspire to beyond "just getting buy". Humble, happy and a handsome pair full of tallent, Ellen and I are very greatful for being at your shop warming.
Fred, Marilyn and the Self Family put together a eventful and well ballanced meet, no excuses for just standing around unless you are gawking at some "in your face pinstriping". Fred "One Shot" Manning rolled over his winning door prize ticket and I won the door prize of a new microwave adorned by many of the attendies, thanks Fred that was gracious as hell! Fred's sign place is a perfect setting to be creative and all those involved in putting it together sure do deserve a huge thanks from all attending.
Without making a laundry list of thank you's to everyone, and being long winded it sure was a great welcome back to the Letterhead gang after a 12 year break, we have new friends, met some legends and shook hands with some of my heros that till now I only read about. If you missed this one..... get to one soon!
Terry Teague, Chris Elliott.... Ellen and I are still laughing!
Thanks Fred!

Thanks for coming ...It was our pleasure to have some many people show up for the "Warming" and to have someone come as far as you and Ellen did was even more special.
We'll be doing it again next year ...hope you can make it.
Thanks again for the nifty panel...it's already on the wall, in a special place.

Monte and his wife are a couple of wonderful people to host people all the way from Australia two years in a row. The new shop is soomething special, and the sign out front is an award winner. Fred's place is looking better each year.

Glad you made it home safely. It was great to meet both of you, but for me and Mike our main topic of conversation has been Ellen. She is just a very special lady. Stephen is unique also - he doesn't know what a "R" is. And they say us Texans talk funny!
Fred's gatherings are always a battery charging event. We're already making plans for next year.

Steve and Ellen, glad you made the trek back home safely. I enjoyed talking with you at the meet and congratulations on taking home the raffle prize. Most people were wondering if they won it how they were going to get it home. Maine is a beautiful state especially during the turn of the leaves. Connie and I enjoyed visiting there last October and hope to come up again.
Life gets boring if your not learning. So get to a Letterheads meet and life will get fun again. It sure did for me.
