Great pictures Brandon.   Thanks for documenting it so well.

And, a big thanks to everyone who surprised me with a birthday party Saturday night.  Even though my real Eagle did not make it there next year I really enjoyed the cake version that was done so well!  That meant a lot to me and I was really not able to thank everyone, until now, with my appreciation for what they did.

I am glad you were suprised.  I thought the cake turned out great.

Too bad there isn't a way she could make cakes to ship, because I think it would be cool if we were able to send moderators cakes of their Eagles on their birthdays.  Provided I make it to the meet in '11 I will see if I can't bring another Eagle cake as my donation.

We made it home as well... the girls and I made lots of stops for fun. I met up with Meping and her dad about 9:30 and we decided to hit up Cracker Barrel for breakfast... but there was a 20m wait - then we ran into HawkenEagle and his wife and decided to go to a "ma and pa" truck stop and had breakfast there. Afterwards, I did a quick CB radio install for Meping in her car and the girls and I shoved off about 1pm.

Glad everyone had fun. Already trying to figure out details for next year... we already started a thread for a Meet at the Sanctuary for 2011, but Jerry is pretty adament on setting something up around Cordova. Doug and I talked about doing both, but I think Cordova is a few hours from me and it's hard enough getting people to one place... cant imagine doing one place and then heading to the other the next day. The good news is we have 11mo to work on it, lol!

For those of you with video of the thing we did just before we went out to eat... please don't post it just yet. If you can email it to me - that would be great. Send me a PM if you need directions on how to email it. I still have video from the first two years ready to go, but haven't been able to afford the right editing software... anyways, I spent alot of money on the way to the meet for a new HD camera and HD editing software. I'm really looking forward to working on this... last year, we didn't get the title sequence filmed... the first year, it didn't turn out right - but I think this year, it was just right. I just don't have the video yet - so email it to me asap! :P

And if you'd like your photos added to the DVD - please email them to me at [email protected] the best way (same with video) is to put everything in a folder.... zip/compress it and then email it.

Had a blast guys... sorry I showed up late. I did a few extra things to the car before I left and then ran into unexpected problems when I finally left. Glad everyone liked the shirts although I forgot to grab one for myself, LOL!

Girls loved it and won't stop talking about it! Thanks Brandon!

I was surprised with this latest addition to the AMC Eagle Nest HQ.  Presented to me during the Midwest/International AMC Eagle Nest Meet.



It hangs near Roy Lunn's office sign, which was presented to him by his AMC colleagues, back in the day.
