I waited until I could get this wonderful case set up before posting this.

At the CREBfest held at the last (2012) Springfield show, Gene, Chris, and Dave asked me to step aside with them for a minute. They took me up by the display cases that held the CREBs and told me that the three of them wanted to say thank you by presenting me with the newly made (by my friend Brian Riecker) display case that appears in the bottom center of this picture.

What can you say to something like this? This is one of those times that the words "Thank You" just do not say enough. These three are the highest caliber of friends and I very much appreciate their kind gift.

Gentlemen, I know this case will always be a reminder to me of your generosity and true friendship.

oops - meant to mention - the Cal 130.1 is resin :)
