1 won St Drakes

[RICKJJ59W]

I revived my 2nd place prize from the annual AB&GC writers contest today. I thought to my self,should I even say anything about it on ABN. Then another thought hit me,most people on here see me joking all the time, playing the 2 word game, chiming in on a topic with a off the wall comment and not really talking to much about bottles in general. To tell you the truth,I have often felt that I don't contribute a whole lot to the hobby.
But today when I got my bottle from AB&GC ,and then later on went on my web site, I felt hey, maybe I do give a little.

John Pastor left this on my guest book. Am I tootin my own horn?? well yeahh just little, why not.[8D] Just thought Id share that wit ya []

I don't believe you are bragging or boasting Rick, you are simply sharing your well deserved good fortune with your friends. That is one of the things we do here. Congratulations. I also no longer subscribe to A.B. & G. C. magazine so I haven't read your articles and to be real honest I don't surf the web much so I haven't visited your site but now I think I will.

Way to go and keep contributing to the hobby.

I just think it has more to do with my perceived lack of stuff in my related area, but you may have convinced me to subscribe...
