Hey guys, just wanted to thank all of you for putting together our recent float. It was great finishing a Board meeting and then getting to get wet on a wonderful river. Alen Baker (President NCWF) has worried me ever since to determine what kayak to buy. You guys lit him up. I'm going back to the river and throw a popping bug around if I can ever get any of Katie's time. Who would have though such a wonderful resource flows right through Raleigh. Thanks for introducing you friends on the NCWF Board to the river and thanks for showing us you can have fun with this work. You guys and gals are great.
Cheers,
G. Richard Mode
