Glad to hear you are doing well, missed you when you got back tot he salt.
Been thru the stint thing and not a fun way to spend speedweek. All of your
crew were great and kept us updated to your condition. Glad your home and
safe. We know you will be back and after more records. Tell Lona, Jackie and
all the others hello.
Glen & Carol
