Who would you like to thhank for 06?

[lildude]

Who would you like to thank for everything they have done? Anyone teach you anything good? Priceless Lessons? Just down right helped you out when you needed it most? Helped treat your koi? "Spanked" you when you needed/Need it?

This is a thread so everyone can be recognized no matter how big or small the deed.


The People who I give the spotlight are....

Bob Winkler- For being one of the best teachers I ever had, whether he thinks that or not.
Gail- For being tough with me when I was being a sissy la la, lol.
Kari Peters- For seeing the good in everyone, and "Paying it forward" (Like the movie)
Russell Peters- For down right being cool, and teaching me things that would have taken years to realize on my own.
Koicop- For giving me the heads up when I would screw up.
Dick benbow- for being the quiet one who once in a while, and would give input on my threads. Thank you.
Aquitori- For teaching me things I never knew, whether he realized it or not.
Everyone- For having patience with everyone else, whether young, old, Enthusiast or Hobbyist.
Koi-Bito- For putting this blessed forum on our planet, even if things get a lil hot once and a while.

No problem Lil'Dude....I would get frustrated at times of learning and I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by koi dealers like Tom Lai of Champ and Kevin Pham of Genki here in the Bay Area. I just hope your learning process doesnt stop for 2007.

I would like to thank the BMOC Big Man On Campus Jim North for keeping this board real.

Peace!

Now, looking forward to the positive changes to this board in 2007
Have learned a lot thru the posting of lots of learned guys and gals ...

Hmm thats a tough question. I'd like to thank all my buddies in Koi-Unit esp Joe, Tony and Nancy. My good friend Bill at Mystic Koi as well as Kevin at Genki. My buddy REC that even though he is busy saving koi over at Koivet still finds the time to school me on sick koi and takes the time to post here on Bito as well. Everyone that posts on Bito and I have so many favorites in that bunch I can't begin to name them all. And last but not least, Brian, even though he isn't here that much he is still paying the bills to keep the lights on.
