I just wanted to express my gratitude to a few people. First of all has to be Kiley and Denise for not only letting all of us invade their property for a few days but also treating us so well while we were there. Truly southern hospitality lives on with these two and I can't imagine a more gracious host and hostess.
Second is those of you that helped out when my brother had his little unexpected dismount. Whoever it was that stopped on the side of the road with him and Logan who let me use his truck to retrieve the bike. I might add that Logan had only known me for about thirty seconds before he handed me the keys to his truck. I'm very, very grateful and it just illustrates what kind of a group this is.
Last but not least, thank you to everyone else for being yourselves. Barber itself is fun but for me the best part of the weekend is just being able to see some old friends again and meet a few new one. Since I left the military I've missed the camaraderie and sense of community that I found there. They only thing that's come close to that is getting together will all you Tonners.
Okay, I'm done being gushy.
Had a blast this year and looking forward to next year.
