But I pulled the trigger and went and am glad I did. I could not believe all the knowledge that was in the room. If you had a question you were given an answer you could understand. If the person didn't have the answer he pointed you to the person that did. I felt that I was with family. We all had the same goal to make our ponds better. I want to thank all the moderators that took me under their wing and helped me with all my questions. I also want to thank the vendors that took the extra time to go into fine detail about their products with me. I kept telling Bob Lusk I was having a ball and he would say "isn't this fun"? But Bob could not answer one question for me "How do you fix stupid"? Just a bit of advice to all who go to future conferences watch it when you shake Mike Otto's hand. He has dirt on his hands. He carries a glass with dirt in it and makes little balls with it. He will tell you you can play with it but you have to put it back. You will get dirty.

I'm glad that you had fun, I sure did! Lynda and I have been to PB-I through PB-IV. If there is one disappointment at any of the conferences, it is that we haven't gotten to meet everybody. For us, PB IV was one of the very best vacations ever! Oh, so much better than a bus trip, with people our age going to Branson, to see Elvis!
