I just wanted to thank all those involved with putting together Speedbag VIII. It was a great gathering of speedbaggers and supporters. I learned more in a day and a half than months on my own thanks to all the accomplished baggers that shared their knowledge and skills with the newbies and themselves. I felt a great sense of acceptance and friendship from all those folks that I met during the gathering. I am looking forward to Speedbag IX, god willing and the creek don't rise.
