James, you pulled awesome. I know how hard you trained, and how bad that you wanted to win, but 2nd place is pretty damn good considering the company that you were in. You will soon reach your goal. You are so close. Do you plan on going to South Africa? Keep doing what you are doing!!

Thanks Willie, it was nice to have so many people rooting for me.  Something I am not all that accustomed to at local tournaments  Anyhow, I plan on making it somehow to South Africa even if it is on a slow boat that leaves later on this month. Are you making the trip? |

James,
Perhaps we should join forces to try and procure sponsership for the worlds. We are the only two CT folks to qualify and that might be a desirable approach to get a CT organization interested in supporting us for improving their public image or selling their product.
I have a couple of influencial friends checking on prospects and I can keep you updated if you want.
Ron (I need a hook) Klemba

Since the, "Nice to see everyone" topic was locked out for some reason, I only saw it fitting to place this one under this appropriate heading. You know, James, I was wondering when you were going to make something of my name. I guess I would have to be on your level to think of such a vacuous comment.  Oh well, you do have funies (eh, travis?) going for you.  |

Thanks guys, even Allen Hester cuz he's okay and we just got through the third grade together  Ron, I want to go and if you want to join forces to get us there, by all means. They say two heads are better than one, though sometimes it seems, neither of mine work. Okay enough of that, I have been talking with Pepsi and Sobe, maybe we can craft a proposal together. |

Hey James,
As I wrote to you in private I just want to say again that if anybody in Ct. deserves a whole hearted congrats it's YOU!! You've been a training and pulling monster. I will more than happily take my hat off to you and say that now that I'm pulling again I hope I can come close to the intensity that you've shown over the last few years!!!
Your brother in Arms!!!

Vic thank you and you are always welcome to come by and lift or practice. My motto has been "never let up" over the past few years and it is going to pay off soon. |

James, biz has not been that good for me this year so I am not as affluent as I am generally accostumed to being. Never the less when you figure out all of your costs call me and I will contribute to the sponsorship at whatever level I can Last year I would have paid it all this year I will pay what I can I would blame Bush for the economy but I dont want to fall in bad favor with Allen Hester I am serious though I will help Christopher Myers |

James is one of the most committed arm wrestlers out there and it was this dedication that sparked my interest in this sport, So it comes to me as no surprise that he did so well and will continue to excel. I want to congratulate him for his success, it is well deserved and I wish him the best of luck in South Africa.

Haha, Christropher ! Don't worry about falling, I will move. lol If anyone blames Bush for the bad economy, then I suggest they give back the money, from the tax break, so it will help the economy rebound. I know it helped my bank account rebound. Heehee, |
