That's definitely some good news about the magazine improvements. It definitely sounds like you have been "busier than a grasshopper in a henhouse" this year.<grin> Trust me,all of us ACES members appreciate all you do. More than most,I know just how much work it is running an organization this size. I'm very sorry I didn't have my car at Chevellabration this year and haven't been able to attend any of the regional meets. Without boring anyone with the details,it has been a difficult year for me and unfortunately,it's showing signs of getting worse before it gets better. Bless you for your thoughts and prayers. I promise to hang in there. Clint Hooper H&H Custom,owner 1969 El Camino protourer http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm "You may find me dead one day in a ditch.
