Humbled and thankful...

revhtree · Sep 28, 2012

I just want to say thank you to all the moderators and members of R2R who were involved in one of the most humbling and awesome times in my life. Today was a great day at Macana. I got to see old friends, meet new friends, hang with some hobby well knowns, but most importantly I got to see some of the finest moderators and members I know of and more importantly known as my friends.

The awesome surprise was when I was presented with a custom Naso Tang painting painted by Karen Talbot and purchased by some of you. I was 1000% shocked and 1000% sure that I should have been the one presenting a gift to many of you.

I am further solidified in my thinking that my forum family here is hands down the very best and that what we have here as a community is real and lasting and that I am one very very blessed man.

I just want to say thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Again humbled and thankful. Love you guys and gals.

Yay! You're awesome Rev and deserve it completely! It takes an amazing person to stand at a booth and smile at everyone for 10+ hours.

You and your wife are the best!
