The Gong is gone. Got to be such a hassle explaining the use of it. Back to having fun with no pressure on anyone.

Lewis, That leaves me to be the last recipient in Kentucky Jets history to receive this "prestigious" award! Good thing I have found an appropriate use for it in my recently renovated library.

See you at FIF.

Sounds like a great idea. I changed my door bell to sound like "the gong" and people left, thinking they messed up on properly ringing the door bell! It was a vicious circle. Changed it back to a trumpet sound, as if King Arthur was at the door...

The true story is that I own the gong, I sponsored the award, and I am not going to KY Jets. The gong was enjoyed at Route 66 Jets last Sept and will be at Winnimac this year.

Marty, your award looks great in your library.

Jim

LOL, Marty. A fitting place for the gong award I must say. Like Jim, I to will not be going to KY Jets again and will hit Winnimac for the first time this year. I hope someone enjoys my primo spot that I have had for the last 5 years. You guys have fun.
