Now that the "Polkfest threads" have simmered down, I felt it time to report what a classy, generous and thoughtful guy Carl is.

During Polkfest he presented me with an awesome gift, one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I'm not saying anymore for the pictures speak thousands of words.

Here we go . . .



Not pictured is a case of blank tapes and a case of prerecorded tapes.

Thanks you my friend and God Bless you.

This is what Jesse was talking about when he mentioned the "Polk Community." YOu new guys, hang in and you will see what an awesome club this really is.

    Yep I will add myself to the list of Polkies that thinks Carl is the bomb.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Excuse me Mr. Bunyan, I don't recall tilting my head skyward to speak to you. I said I though he was taller, I didn't say he was short.

    You are short. And god did not smile upon your countenance either I'm afraid.

    I just read the second sentence and you are kind of amusing sometimes. There's one for the + column.

    Carl is Ichiban.

    Did you know Carl also does voluntary community service? Last Saturday, for research purposes, he exposed 100 high school students to the nuclear reactor at Penn State.:eek::p:D We will have the results soon. He knows his ice cream cows too.

    I finally met Carl and spent a little time with him at PF and I can say he rocks. We had a great time and he's a helluva nice guy.

    P.s. Can your head fit thru the door anymore Carl.......JK :D;)
