I HAD FAMILY IN ROCKFORD & WAS BORN IN FREEPORT, IL. I USED GO TO THE MAYFLOWER RESTAURANT OFTEN SINCE I WAS A YOUNG CHILD. MOST OF MY FAMILY WAS BORN AND RAISED IN GALENA SO I USED TO SPEND MY SUMMERS VISITING MY GRANDMA & GOING TO THE RIVER WITH MY COUSINS. THESE MEMORIES ARE THE SOME OF THE VERY BEST I CAN REMEMBER. BOTH ROCKFORD & FREEPORT HAVE REALLY GONE INTO THE TOILET AND HAVE SO MANY SCUMBAG PEOPLE. IT'S SAD TO SEE THE DECLINE OF THESE CITYS. GALENA IS STILL GREAT, BUT HAS SEEN A BIT OF DECLINE IN RECENT YEARS.

NOW, WE LIVE IN SAN DIEGO AND STILL BELIEVE CHICAGO IS OUR MOST TREASURED CITY AND NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THE AMAZING FOOD AND MIDWEST AWESOMENESS!!

I'M NOT GETTING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THIS TENNIS MATCH WITH YOU GUYS......
BUT, I REALLY WANT TO HEAR WHAT FRANK CULOTTA HAS TO SAY & ATTEND THE CONVENTION THIS YEAR.

LAST JUNE, I ATTENDED MY VERY FIRST CONVENTION. I REALLY LIKED THE PEOPLE AND THE AMAZING PASSION & KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE. INITIALLY, I WAS SAD I COULDN'T ATTEND EVERY SEMINAR SINCE I VOLUNTEERED SEVERAL TIMES TO WORK THE BOOTHS. BUT, WORKING THE BOOTHS DID INTRODUCE ME TO GREAT GUYS LIKE WESTIN CHARLES, JERRY VERGATOS, QUINTIN KAMM & DOUG SMITH SO IT WAS WELL WORTH THE INCONVENIENCE OF MISSING A COUPLE SEMINARS.
I THINK WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER EACH OTHER AS WELL AS THIS PHENOMENAL 25 YEAR OLD CLUB!
