Peter,
The first tune I ever picked up (always played by ear) was the melody of "Little Red Riding Hood" by Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs.
Played on one string, of course. :-)

David the un-named couple is Dennis Dwyer and his wife. I forgot to send this to you. I cannot remember Dennis' wifes name to save me (I hate it when that happens - and it happens way to often). Their business is Bay Area Awards in Niceville Florida. If I remember correct they have been in business over 15 years.
I met these great folks a few (5 or more) years ago at a PPI trade show in Atlanta GA . Dennis and I went to the same University about the same time but did not know each other. They saw me at the show Thursday morning and remembered me. (And who could forget me B-) ) I quickly invited them to our Beach Party - and to join the forum. I do not know if they have joined yet or not but I am going to send them an email and remind them. This is a great couple and would be a good addition to our group.
Sorry for the delay in this update.

Thank you Joe. I've updated the caption.
I didn't get a chance to talk to them, at the party.
Maybe next year. :-)

I'll go with the name Linda, until someone comes along with a correction. :-)

OK - now I feel really bad :'-(
By the way, if you Dad ever fires you - I will hire you and pay you more than I make. :-)

Joe,
I have already offered Jeanette to come work for American Pacific Awards....if Daddy ever fires her, which I think is unlikely.......my trump card is, Blue Sky, Blue Ocean, Warm Beaches.....and paid on top of it.......( insert laugh here)

Sorry, guys...we've got dibs on "THE one & only" Jeanette.
Time and again, we talk about how much Roy and Randy do to help us...even folks that are NOT their customers. In fact, both of these guys have called me this weekend to help me re-learn stuff about the Xenetech rotary that we've had almost a year. (I'm a slow learner, but that's a much longer story.)
In my book, Jeanette is worth MY weight in gold. Believe me...that's about a gazillion dollars! She really is the glue that holds their organization together, and EC is fortunate to have her.
The cool thing is that when we hire her, she'll instantly be my SECOND boss.
Chuck may have the blue skies, crystal-clear oceans, white sands, and all that stuff.
But WE have chicken farms, dairies, and milk plants all around us. Talk about a fine aroma when you walk outside in the morning! How can a gal turn THAT down???

Cody & Chuck - This thing could get into a bidding war and cost us all way too much - I suggest we spend our money on funding research for cloning Jeanette. Think of the millions we could make!! We could revolutionize the engraving industry with a Jeanette in every shop across the country - even the world !!!!!!!!

Like me.
I bought a used laser from one of their customers, after Jeanette posted here that her customer was selling one of his lasers. She, and the rest of the EC gang helped me out over and over during the transaction, including making sure the laser got tested, packed and shipped in good condition. I know they were helping out their customer, but they treated me like I was one of their valued customers and looked after my interests as much as their customer's, even though they didn't make a cent off of me.
She's the "Angel from Arlington". :-)

Dave - What they did for you is just another reason that everyone that knows them (EC family) loves them. There are a lot of good people in our industry that do a great job of customer service but the Engraving Concepts set the standard for excellence!
I really like Jeanettes new name - good work.

I like the name too. I've already got the perfect lapel pin in mind for her.

I've got a lab out back. I'll start testing and begin the patent process..... you look into the marketing.
Maybe an ad in Recognition Review?
"Need help in your shop? Feeling over worked? Customer service not up to par? Well we have the SOLUTION......Our new JBR1 clone will solve all those problems and more. Just like the original, our clone will provide the best quality product and service, right in the comfort of your own shop......for more information....call or email today...."
What do you think?

Chuck,
I don't think the breed of dog you have in your yard will have a bearing on the experiment, but I'm with you in spirit. :P
