Thank you New England PPFA

I just wanted to say thank you to Cliff, Carol, Rich, Bob, and all of the New England chapter of PPFA for the wonderful event they organized. It was very evident that a lot of time, organization, and work went into this meeting and I was so impressed with the participation of their members.... and also very proud to have been asked to be part of it. From what I witnessed, this is a chapter that the NC Chapter should try to emulate and hopefully evolve into.

The NE chapter open framing competition was so impressive. Wow! The nationals are going to be really something if this was an example of the quality of entries to look forward to. Congratulation to all the winners. I'm sure we will be seeing your names in the winner circle again.

A special note of thanks goes out to Norman R for his help while I was packing up, and to those who attended my class. You were a great bunch to work with and made the time fly by so fast. Sorry I didn't break my own record on that Jersey, but it was fun trying. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you all again at the shows or PPFA nationals the future.
