Thanks Biggie but this was not necessary

Not very good with words but like the email said it is over and forgotten.

No need to say anymore about it.

See you in camp this year.

Biggie- I've been waitin for an apology from you for years and you go and kiss up to somebody publicaly. You gettin soft in your old age?

I can't take any more of this suck up to Biggie stuff!

As one of your best friends in the whole wide world- you dissapointed me! Ha!

I luv ya- but not for apologizing.

All right- good job.

Whut???

Oh, well, just let me say this about that - no matter how careful we are, "stuff" happens, as I well know. Apologies are good for the soul & heart and usually have the added good effect of causing all of us who witness them to try harder. Living among our brothers (even beloved and respected ones) is not always easy but is always well worth the extra effort.

Bless you all, bless us all

Been there done that, and wasn't very proud of myself. (Still weighs heavy) With you Biggie.
     You had the heart to forgive me, and I am sure the clan will forgive you. Seems these pounded\\cookie wars, take a toll on our common sense.

While I don't know Chris and Larry personally yet, It was obvious right away after joining the site that it is a family of class acts.

I am fortunate that I will get to share a campfire with Chris shortly and will get to know him even better. My hats off to him his family and everyone on here and elsewhere that dedicated their lives to supporting this country and this tradition.

Thanks to all.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I have two clans of upright brothers and sisters. Freemasonry and TradGang.

I am a blessed and honored man to participate in both.

Didn't see the post in question but have had dealings with most involved. Hats off to "Biggie" for stepping up to the plate with an apology he thought might be needed. No way he would intentionally hurt anyones feelings. Thanks big guy for promoting the pound cake war for the benefit of St. Jude. The kids came out way ahead because of your efforts.    :thumbsup:

Thanks guys for the good words.

I can't take any more credit than any of the other 40 or so guys who bid up the pound cakes or the fine young lady who offered them. It takes us all to make it happen!
