But helped make it a special event for me. There is one more guy I got to thank for making the LBL special and I already owe him more than I can ever repay :sad:. I was sitting at the drawings Saturday night, minding my own business when they said they had a special presentation. Well my name was called and it seemed some turkey named Hawks Feather had made a special pen for a Canadian and when I went up to make my speach I found it impossible to do with a watermelon in my throat. Jerry had made me this most wonderful pen to give to me at the LBL.

Then just to make things even more weighted in his favor I had the great fortune to have my name pulled for a hat he had donated as well :yahoo:. My wife will be the first to tell you that I won't walk up and receive a hat from a drawing up here where I live as they all want me to advertise something I don't believe in. I ran up to get this one cause I saw it earlier in Reggies cabin and said "I want that hat".

Thank you Mr. Latta for once again proving you are a man among men with a way of doing things that I wish everyone in the world would aspire too. The pen is beautiful and has it's place of honor in my home and the wife likes her new hat.
Man I wish I could take a picture as good as Bop :doh2:.

That pen is pretty slick though. Jerry Latta is a class act in anyone's book. :highclap:
You did a fine job of taking pics there buddy.
likes her new hat............
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
:roflmao: She's gonna kick his apparatus
You better send that hat on to someone else. Now that I have seen your picture, you have no alibi. :biggrin:
All I know is that hat doesn't do Barry any justice at all!! :laf: :laf: :confused: Or is it the other way around?? :shrug:
Oh well Jerry is a good fella & he does do nice work. That pen is a keeper for sure.
Way to go Jerry!! :yoyo: :yoyo:

:biggrin: Just makin sure it wasn't a loaded pen for ya!! :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
Nice pen
Barry maybe you should keep the hat. Use it to cover the Picture Rich took :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Barry,
I am sorry that I wasn't there to give you the pen in person, but we will probably meet up in time. As for the pen it is just a little something from Jim and the rest of the moderators at FnF for all you do to keep us in line. With the Olympics going on right now I am seeing the red and white with the maple leaf pretty often. Enjoy it.
Jerry and the rest of the gang
Jerry is a heck of a guy without a doubt. He has always given to the LBL hunt and does a little something extra for someone. Barry that pen is awesome and you surely deserve something extra for like Jerry said “ you do keep us in lineâ€. :yoyo:
It is sometimes hard for me to talk to Jerry with him being a school principle. I get the urge to fib and hide my cigarettes when he is around. :laf: One time I skipped work and he almost caught me here browsing FnF when I was supposed to be in bed sick, but I logged out real quick so maybe not. :shrug:
