I'll be counting on that fridge art for next summer.I'll try to post a pic of the formation later. It was a nail biter, 25 in by 8500 and #26 going low and working her way back up, docking 2 seconds before breakoff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #107 August 22, 2011 Thanks, Elvisio, and thanks for buying tickets. Yes, between the raffle, dinner, shirts, some LFL pledge jumps and a few other donors, we've raised over $15,000 this year for the Univ. of Wash. research center, with more donations coming in. It's amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #110 August 22, 2011 Thanks, Remster and Cindy. I know. I've entered a gazillion raffles. I was shocked to actually win a GoPro HD this year in an autism fund raiser. It was a first for me . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, and he even won the SkyHigh Pendant you wanted to win for your wife. Damn it.I hope this doesn't make you mad, but your ticket DID come up for one of the barbecues, but you had to be present to win one of those. They're just too big to mail. Damn it again.
