I want to thank the GPC for the award that was presented at the convention last weekend, I am most honored.

I want to say '06 was quite a year for me, I want to share this honor with all the growers that made it possible.

All the folks that shared info and answered my questions when I pestered them in the chatrooms on BP.

Those that were kind enough to return emails,reply to posts that I made, phone calls, and the club members of the CWPG that helped in so many ways.

The generous growers that offered seeds and kept up with my efforts last season and are still helping me today.

I feel very fortunate to have found this great hobby/sport and I hope to do it justice in returning these favors over the years to come.

Once again thank you all,,it was a group effort !!!!!
