was a great event, thanks for letting me be a part of it, another great memry to hold on to for life, Lee
 
I think the good lord was looking out for this day, weather was perfect and the event went without even one little snag.

I think what y'all did has not only given a sort of closure to the survivors that were there, but I think we just added 10 years to Buds life.

I was proud to be there and prouder to be a part of this event. I just watched, on Nationwide Network TV, NBC nightly news , the ride. Be proud y'all.

And......if you folks want to see what you have really done, go to the initial post of flight 401 crash, page 4 and look at the pictures that john c took of bud back in august. Then, fast forward to the ride on saturday and look at the difference in the man that means so much to you. You folks have recreated him, he is happy, smiling and joking. I really don't think you folks realize what you did for this man. I know it did a lot for you, but multiply that by 1000. that is what it did for bud. we gave him his life, pride and in some sense, his family back at his side. Damn folks, makes me wanna cry looking at the difference in how bud was then and the guy that was on the ride on his brand new boat saturday. If you folks are't proud of yourselves, you should be. Gave the old boy his life back and there is no price you can put on that.

Happy New Year

Great picture D. I asked Bud how he liked the frog legs. He said "There good. Them boys cooking em really know what there doing." His grand daughter told me he was even eating the feet.
 
I got a chance to sit across from Bud at the dinner table, and trust me ..... the man loved the meal. Y'all did REAL good.
