Here's what you've been patiently waiting for. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> Beach Party II pictures, taken Thursday March 2nd, during the ARA International Awards Market, held in Las Vegas, Nevada.<br /> <br /> Thank you to all who attended, for making this event a resounding success. A special thanks to Ed Holley, the evening's Master of Ceremonies and to Chuck Burke, (aka Hula Boy, Poi Boy) for capturing the festivities and providing the following images.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Thursday Mornin adj.jpg" alt="Thursday Mornin adj.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Daybreak, of an especially long and unforgettable day. You can see the tracks of the newly-installed monorail system, in the foreground.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/We were in Stitches sized.jpg" alt="We were in Stitches sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> The Class of 2006! This photo was actually taken toward the end of the evening. Some of the 68 attendees had already departed, but as you can see, we still had a pretty healthy group remaining. Thank you to Terry Adams for taking the photo.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/The Professor and Mod sized.jpg" alt="The Professor and Mod sized.jpg" /><br /> <br /> One of my right-hand men, Harvey Lentchner and myself.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Leslie and Rolf sized.jpg" alt="Leslie and Rolf sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Rolf and his lovely wife Leslie. I discovered Rolf and Leslie have recently become "empty nesters." Don't tell the kids, but I think they're enjoying their newfound status. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Ed and Sharon Holley sized.jpg" alt="Ed and Sharon Holley sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Ed Holley and his pretty lady, Sharon, who recently celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations!<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Dave, Ed and Steve sized.jpg" alt="Dave, Ed and Steve sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Dave Loda, Ed Holley and Steve Natesky, (Marketing Director, Atomic Art)<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Buxmont2 sized.jpg" alt="Buxmont2 sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> This handsome couple is Debbie Koehler and Greg Bencsik (Bux-Mont Awards)<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Joe and Toni Hayes sized.jpg" alt="Joe and Toni Hayes sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Our good friends and some of my favorite people, Joe and Toni Hayes (Graphics Galore Inc.)<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Its JO sized.jpg" alt="Its JO sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> This photo doesn't do her justice, but this is the striking Jo Welter. (Oregon Awards & Engraving)<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Are we having fun sized.jpg" alt="Are we having fun sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> "Is this thing working!", says Ed Holley, as we break out the wireless mic, so people can introduce themselves and say a few words. Directly in front of Ed, is Brett Halle (Comet Technologies). To Brett's right (in the blue shirt, is Chris Tegard (Treasured Creations). To Chris' right, I believe is Josh Perelman. <i>I apologize for not remembering everyone's names, but if you can help me out with the other people in the photo (facing the camera) I'll give them the recognition they deserve.</i><br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/HB and Kathy Vasic sized.jpg" alt="HB and Kathy Vasic sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Chuck Burke and the vivacious Kathy Vasic.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Lisa sized.jpg" alt="Lisa sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> From North Carolina, Jeff and Lisa Higginbotham (TrophyUSA)<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Hula Boy and Engr Con sized.jpg" alt="Hula Boy and Engr Con sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Roy Brewer, (who puts the "rep" in reputable), handsome Randy Allen, pretty Jeanette Brewer-Richardson (Engraving Concepts) and Chuck Burke.<br /> <br /> BTW - I'm in negotiations with a national gossip magazine, for the sale of this photo. I'm told this is the first time Roy has ever been seen sitting down. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Be Quiet and Listen sized.jpg" alt="Be Quiet and Listen sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Here I am, announcing Ed Holley as the winner of the David Lavaneri look-alike contest. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> Not really, but there is a likeness.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Hula Boy and Mrs Only sized.jpg" alt="Hula Boy and Mrs Only sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> The dress code was pretty stringent, as evidenced by Chuck's Versaci gown. Harvey's wife, Dee Lentchner seems to approve. <i>A little help with the name of the gentleman in the background please.</i><br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/I dont want to sized.jpg" alt="I dont want to sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> I had to get a closer look at that skirt, which I now regret. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Joe Zona and Chuck sized.jpg" alt="Joe Zona and Chuck sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Joe Hayes, Zona Hudkins (the world's most youthful Grandmother) and the Chuckster.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Zonas husband Steve sized.jpg" alt="Zonas husband Steve sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Zona's handsome husband, Steve Hudkins.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/The Onlys sized.jpg" alt="The Onlys sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Happy couple, Harvey and Dee Lentchner.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Mystery Couple.jpg" alt="Mystery Couple.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Dennis Dwyer & pretty wife Linda (Bay Area Awards, FL)<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Peter Vasic Chuck sized.jpg" alt="Peter Vasic Chuck sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Of course, as the evening wore on, as with any good party, things began to spin completely out-of-control! Chuck Burke and Peter Vasic (down under) in a tender moment.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/The Professor and sized.jpg" alt="The Professor and sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Harvey, making noises only a dog could hear, upon receiving news that Peter and Chuck had just returned from a Vegas, drive-thru wedding chapel.<br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Do you think sized.jpg" alt="Do you think sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Friends of Mick, (representing Cactus Equipment), Kevin and Dana EuBanks. Kevin was overheard saying, "Are you REALLY sure we want to be associated with these people?" To which Dana replied, "Just chug that beer and we'll hit the road. Make it snappy!!" <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Lodas sized.jpg" alt="Lodas sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Lynne and Dave Loda. Lynne thinking, "When did rocks become an ingredient in egg rolls?" Dave thinking, "I wonder if it's too late to get a refund from Lavaneri?"<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/No Rolf sized.jpg" alt="No Rolf sized.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Chuck, hoping Rolf is getting ready to whistle. Chuck was able to wriggle out of this one by saying, "It's OK Rolf. An ice cream, at the next day's ARA, will be plenty of thanks." <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/DGL/Mr Ed and Sharon Holly size.jpg" alt="Mr Ed and Sharon Holly size.jpg" /> <br /> <br /> Last, but not least, as much as I tried to preside over an above-board event, there's always one party animal to crash the party. Good thing it was all-you-can-eat. The guy ate like a horse!<br /> <br /> I couldn't even get his name rank and serial number. All he would say is, "I am Mister Ed." <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> As you can see, we barely touched on all the people who attended the party, but I'm sure you'll agree, if you weren't there, you really missed out.<br /> <br /> Why not join us in 2007? You'll be happy you did. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 24 Apr 2006 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a3169_2"></a><p><b>From: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3169.2">#2</a>]<br /> 14 Mar 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3169.1">#1</a>] 14 Mar 2006</p> All these photos and not a single comment yet!
