Ralph and Fred,

They both left yesterday. I also included 2 obsolete chips from a Montana casino that I'm hoping you don't have in your collections. No excuses for my tardiness. It's just a randomness that I get to the post office. As Hotrod suggested, I've stayed out of the last 2 contests.

I've never stiffed anyone on any of these games. They may arrive late , but they always arrive. I've purchased a ton of chips through the board and always pay instantly. Ricky, David, Steve, John, Chuck, and plenty others can vouch that I've never taken a shot at anyone.

I apoligize that the delay caused you any amount of stress. I've always just looked at it as a bonus when they arrive. On the 1 contest that I won, I never persecuted anyone. They arrived when they arrived and I thought it was a nice surprise. If I happen to win the Nascar contest I give you permission to send the chips whenever you get around to it. No pressure, its just for fun.

Again, I'm very sorry and I will continue to work on regaining your trust so I am a welcome participant in the games. I think they are fun and I want to participate. The board and the club are both something I really enjoy and I want to be considered a good addition to the club.
