New POG Member

[Randy Kirkbride]

In December, I purchased a POG membership for my son Robert. I thought I'd give it to him for a Christmas present. He called me yesterday to tell me he had just landed at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, on his return flight from his 12 month stay in Iraq, with the Army's 660th. He should be back home within the week. When he returns, I'll give him his membership. He'll be going to some of the CC races with me this year. He's really interested in Pentons and he's looking forward to seeing some good races. Thanks to all you guys for keeping him in your thoughts while he's been gone. I know you'll make him feel welcome in POG. He'll really be surprised when I give him his membership packet. Now that he's back in the states, I can take a long deep breath.

Randy,
  As you know Robert has been in many of our Prayers and thoughts over the last year.  It will be a honor to meet him and I hope (if Diamond Don lets me through the gate)to see you both in Texas on my Birthday.  Also check with Lew, you birthday gift should be in later this week and thanks for all the birthday gifts you have made or have given me and others over the years.

For New Members:  Randy is responsible for making and reproducing sooo many decals/stickers to make our Pentons look original.  Our Penton Owners Group would not be what it is today without the deligance of Randy and others in this Group.  Thanks Randy and a late congratulations on being a GrandFather.  Oh least do I forget the Best Christmas of all times.  Thanks Big Guy.
Your Friend and Fellow 100 Berkshire Owner.

Randy,

As a combat veteran with a soon to be 19 yr old son I can only imagine what that place is like that fear and concern can lead you to when your son is in harm's way.  

It is with sincere joy and gratitude that I welcome not only your son home, but I also welcome your family's relief and joy at his return.

Thank You,



Tony

Great to hear Robert's back in the States, Randy. Big sigh of relief.
Guess I'll have to set up my big cot outside the trailer now.
I don't know what Ron's talkin' about.[}:)]

Randy,
    I'd like to join the rest of the gang in welcoming your son home.  Thank him, for me, for standing the wall so my family can sleep in peace.  God bless.
