Thank you from your host

[prattreef]

I really appreciate all the kind words in other posts, but I feel the need to turn the tables. For the second year in a row, I have had the honor of hosting this great event, and for the second year, I need to compliment you all --members, guests and vendors--- for being so responsible, respectful and courteous to us here at Pratt. I have heard nothing but great things from security, catering, student activities and my student assistants about the way they were treated and what a delight it was to work with you all on this large, weather complicated event.

What a great community!!!! :grouphug:

I say it all the time. This is a GREAT bunch on this board!

Randy, I guess everyone will agree that without your love for the hobby (science in your case), and your being able to host the swap it would have been a much sadder affair. I just hope that the administration and the High Times student group weren't expecting a different kind of "Reefers", lol. Amazing tanks, great ppl, neither rain, sleet or subway screw ups will keep this happy bunch of reefers from an opportunity to show our stuff, and talk with like minded folks. Again, thank you very much Randy.

That for having us.
It was so nice to see the upgraded 'MR tank' compared to the last swap - a big improvement i must say.
makes me proud to have been a part of it
