Thad 135 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Last year was a blast with over 150 contractors meeting up to learn how to make their businesses more efficient and profitable. Jack and I will be meeting in New Orleans this week during the Last Annual NOLA Event to finalize an exciting lineup of speakers and the trade show will be even bigger than last year.

RPetry 564 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Jack Kramer deserves an award. He is a natural MC. The incipient PW Industry should recognize his ability and contributions. Same goes for you Thad. Also, Beth & Rod must be recognized as the foremost leader in online education and content. In addition, Tom and Barbara Vogel of ACR products deserve mucho kudos. Along with Everret Abrams, they put roundtables on the map many years ago. They have pulled many contractors feet out of the fire for many years, and continue to do so. I would not be in business without their help and support. Carlos Gonzalez deserves a much needed recognition for his spunk, accumen, and downright efforts in trying to steer this service business to another level. Last, but not least, Peirce Fitchette of Ready Seal stains and Jake Clark of Armstrong-Clark stains have supported this small service "industry" to the hilt. To one and all, you are friends. Valuable friends. Edited January 19, 2015 by RPetry 2 Beth n Rod and John T reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thad 135 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 I'm not sure I deserve to be included in that esteemed group, Rick. But I really appreciate the kind words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPetry 564 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Thad, Nonsense. You and many others not mentioned in my post deserve credit. Going back in time, if I can remember, Mark Smith, Ken Fenner, Greg R., Jim B., Diamond Jim Foley, and others used this website and the old Delco board to get the wood restoration business recognised by the general public. It helped my small business and many others. So take a bow! 3 John T, Beth n Rod and Guy B reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James 625 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Do we get a reduced rate with an AARP card ? How many handi cap parking spaces at the event ? 1 Beth n Rod reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPetry 564 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Do we get a reduced rate with an AARP card ? How many handi cap parking spaces at the event ? Gotta' get me one of those, I qualify. Lord, I think you qualify at about 50. If one is retired at that age, they do not need any discounts. I'm thinking of applying for NJ handicapped plates. Get easily lost trying to find the Mall entrance. And those valued spaces are the shortest route to the restrooms. New mantra. NO Depends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
