hello cory and all,
I too want to express my sincere congratulations to the new board for
nabs. I'm glad that you came to convention this year cory and, that
you found the federation on a national level and, I hope to see you
next year in Orlando. as for not coming to Orlando I listened to the
stream of the nabs seminar on kjsco radio and, I thought that chris
did a awesome job in doing the mc for the event! chris you are awesome
and definitely we will meet next year in Orlando. so cudos to chris
and, his awesome job!  I hope to meet many of you on this list and,
also in meeting you all in person next year at Washington seminar or
national convention. I'm here for you all! take care and, I will talk
to you all soon!
