I just wanted to say thank you for putting on a great show at Junior's Last Laugh on Thursday! It was truly amazing!
You were very gracious and I want to thank you for all your kind words of encouragement and advice.
Here's hoping we get to meet (again) and work together in the near future, my friend!
And, we were laughing all the way home about the guy who works at the golf course in Erie (among other things) for 11 days out of the year. It was truly a thrill on my side to be a very small part of it!
