Holiday Wishes

[Dave@DunnWright]

Isn't it nice to have a forum like this to sit down and air your thoughts and those that want to read can and those that don't may choose? Neat. I would like to wish everyone here a very Merry Christmas. It has been a good year for DunnWright Marine and Dave Hensley. Boat racing and the marine business continue to be great deals to be involved in and a sure bet to meet alot of nice folks. The year has not been so kind in other ways. We lost too many good racers and friends. I am still in disbelief over the losses of Dale and Melvin right before my eyes. We as Americans had our way of life threatened and thousands were lost on 9/11. As each of you go through this holiday season take time to reflect on your blessings and remember those who are without the ones they love. Say a prayer for the soldiers that have given up the privilege of being with their families and loved ones so we may have that right. While your asking God for their safety ask him to keep them steady in their resolve to kick the ever lovin', cowboy walk around stuffing out of those who seek to destroy us! Merry Christmas and God Bless America!!!!!

Dave,
Great reply, I agree with you 100%. I myself had a great year
in 2001, and I do feel sad for the ones who weren't so fortunate.
The year 2002 looks to be even better for me, I hope everyone
could be as lucky as I feel I am.

In the past year I feel like I have made a complete turn around
in my life. I never had any major life problems or anything like
that. But I have come to realize that my family, wife and two wonderful children, are the most important things that I can ever
have. Now I get down on the floor and play Barbie's with my
daughter, or play trucks with my son. Nothing can compare with
the smile this puts on their face. The old me would sit and play
on the computer or watch tv while they would play. I am so glad
that God or whoever has made me see the light before I woke
up someday and realized I missed it all.

As for boating, summer of 2002 kind of depends on you. Hope
this doesn't put any pressure on you or anything, just kidding.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season and also a very
safe one. I wish everyone the best.

Matt

christmas morning., Everyone's posts are gifts. Some cleaner than others, but gifts nonetheless. Thank you for helping my boating knowledge and for the support of many in a great and lousy year.

Burying my father, remembering the last moments of his life, I am thankful I have no regrets. Removing abusive people from my life has been part of the great part of this year. 2002 should have more room for boating fun!

You are so right Matt, important suff should capture our attention over the urgent stuff.

Many of you are important to me.

Thanks, Greg, for all your effort for us. I am very grateful.

Sincerely, Gregg
