From the Birthday Guy

First of I would like to say, Thank you, Thank you, Thank YOU! I would like to start off by thanking God for allowing us to gather in peace and having a TIME! I am giving special thanks to my wife and kids because if it was not for them, I would not have this. Friends and family members that came from near and far, I am grateful.

Man, I am speechless! A time was had this weekend. Thank you all for everything, yall made turning 50 extra special.
