    Dick ,
    It was great to get a chance to see you again. It is not often that I get to see two friends at the same time out on the road. I was surprised when I found out that Scott was going to be there as well. It was a real good time.

Had a great time talking and you where in the conversation. See you at MATS. I will be at North Wing Lobby booth 40549 around the corner from Squirrel of America’s Truckin Network and across the way from Women in Trucking. You take care and keep it safe.
