Very cool Jack. Congrats. Thank you for all the memories and those to come. That sounded kinda Hallmark. Lets try this.....you digruntled rebel rouser...thank you for being a major part of making the PGVG what it is, and providing some great competition these past 15 or so odd years. And I swear I didn't sneak into your seed room.... on purpose.
Or make any moves on your second youngest daughter, Or put that hole in Sherrie's 1016, Or chase your ducks into that 567 plant, or cut that big notch in your tripod, or tell Tallina to adjust the scale when you weighed in your 850, or......

Thanks, for Jack, I will make sure he reads this when he gets home which should be late tonight. I know he was a little worried about the speech. Dave said they were going to roast him, I told him I wanted the tape, LOL.

Congratulations Jack. You were one of the first growers that I had the opportunity to trade seeds with many years ago. It was that interaction that opened up the exchange of seeds and ideas that was not happening before then.

I am proud to say Jack has been a very good friend for a very long time and he is most deserving of this induction into the GPC Hall of Fame.

If you were not at the awards ceremony in Niagara then you don't know Jack LOL!!! Now every one knows "the real man" are you and Al Reynolds brothers!?!?!?!

I know you could not have accomplished all you have with out the support of Sherry our hats are off to the both of you.
