I will definately be there this year, I missed his last one that I was 99% sure I was going to make it. I hate when crap happens, I will call Ray to get some info on taking my family up there to stay in a log cabin in the mountains. Ray needs to get down to my tourney and pass out the flyers. I have people coming from every team in the southeast and he could send them home with flyers.
Mike, sure would love to have you down here, haven't seen you in a while.
Eric and Johnny, ya'll need to come and help represent your team with Toddzilla. The South Carolina Team is very powerful. Nicole Cisco is trying to make it, come and support her in trying to win the Queen of the Southeast. If you can't make mine and Rays, then definately make Ray Jenkins tournament. He works hard to make those 4 tournaments great up there in Tennessee. Ray put's on more tourneys in the southeast than anybody. I think he needs to get an award for all the hard work he does for us armwrestlers.
Ray get the whole Tennessee team down here to vote for these awards being given out.
See ya,
Steve Merritt

Eric and Johnny, ya'll need to come and help represent your team with Toddzilla. I would like to, and in all honesty, I haven't ruled it out yet...but a trip to Florida would likely require taking a day off of work, whereas a trip to Tennessee would not. I'm strapped for time off right now because my wife is pregnant and I've spent a lot of my time off as a result and I need to reserve as much time off as possible so that I can use it when the baby is born. But we'll see. ;D |
