Thanks Danny. Being a tech counselor is one of the most enjoyable things I do. I learn something every time I visit a project.

Thumbs up Congratulations, Mel

Mel was one of the first RV owners I talked to when I first became interested in RV's at Sun'n Fun 1993. If you have never met Mel, you have missed out on a real experience!
Congratulations, Mel...and also to Ann, your travelling companion!

Thanks Don; Actually many people have commented (and I cannot disagree) that Ann is really the one who should be getting this award.
