I know there were a lot of people I should thank at the convention last week but it's a few I want to specifically thank.

Want to thank Wolf for the emotional warm embrace between two friends. For us, it was real personal as Wolf and my daughter, Rhianna, had a connection when he came here. It was a very emotional moment between two old friends.

Again, Mark Francis, as we never get a chance to just talk. We had some time alone and just enjoyed each others words. He was very appreciative of things I had done in the game.

Joe Greco, who I think dearly of, was a most generous friend who I enjoy playing the game against, win or lose. As always, he does things that go un-noticed but always much needed.

Michigan Joe always gets me riled up and he came over and expressed his emotions of appreciation to me. We talked about some things and again, he's one of those that get you hyped up to play because of his thought process. We could all learn something about being family men from him.

Joel P, my brother and good friend, was always there supporting me. We think so much alike and just have fun when we are around each other.

The Brevard Family. Great looking family and loved the wife! I know Rose and Dearell's wife could be running podnas. Just thanks for the time and receiving of warmth.

Darrian Ross, probably my biggest supporter in the game and best friends, was always right there. Always a good friend who has a listening ear.

Ken Allen, just thanks for the final hours and the brotherhood. You're a good family man and I will always respect that in you. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

There were so many and the times were definitely great and y'all know our story but y'all definitely went out of the way to show us kindness. Doing things publicly these days is not easy but being around guys in the hobby was therapeutic for us.
