heres the deal. As most of you might know I make armwrestling tables in my spare time. Which right now I don't have much of right now. I got a email from Kurt Howgate about 2 months ago inquiring about a table. I gave him a price and he was interested in getting one down the road.
For those who don't know Kurt, he is the guy responsible for this board. Where would the sport of armwrestling be without this? I'm gonna say not where it is now. Kurt doesn't make a penny with this site. He also has to deal with alot of BS. SO......
I got thinking, how can I charge Kurt for a table when he works so hard on this board that we all love and use? I can't.
I wanted to give something back to him so I made Kurt a table that I thought he would really love. I knew a couple things that Kurt has a passion for. One of them being the New England Patriots. So thats what I decided to do. I managed to finish it Friday night after work. I got word from my good friend Badger that he would be at the CT states. Which was yesterday.
I thought it came out sweet and I couldn't wait to see the look on his face. Thanks to Josh for giving me the time to use the mic and let me say a few words. I was so hopped up on monsters that it was tough to stay still speak. lol
Anyway after I donated the table to Kurt several pullers who also appreciate what Kurt does wanted to contribute to the table. I thought that was great.
Richard Durant NH Guy Lasorsa NH Valerie Beach NH Josh Stark CT Ron Ermini Ct Max Maxwell RI Harry Bean IIII NH Joe Mugovero CT Bob Paradis CT Mark Vieira RI
We all thank you

Nice job Frank and congrats Kurt You deserve it!!
Now just a side note- Don't ya think its a little ironic that the quietest guy in arm wrestling created the largest communication based forum??? LOL
