I want to take a moment to thank Ken & Peggy, for keeping FTE up and going, and for having all of us over all the time. I know that it has been tuff at times and hope that things are running smoother now, and will continue to do so. I had hoped to meet Ken at Chimney Rock this fall, but things got too hectic for him to leave, even though his buds, The Ga. Low riders did.
Our country suffered a blow this year like most of us had never seen. It has brought us closer together, and united us in a positive way. We seem to be able to grow through adversity, and be renewed.
Merry Christmas to you and all of the FTE family, and may Gods riches blessings grace your family as we celebrate this season and the birth of our Lord. I pray that you know his love and it will keep all of you strong in him. It is also a time when we gather family together for meals. Our childern are all home and Pat & I am going to feed them hard, make em hurt. We'll have an extra place for you, if you care to stop by. :-X12
PS: I hope that you will feel fee to add your wishes to this thread.

In the cool still quiet of night, you can hear chevies rusting away.
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Dec-01 AT 12:55 PM (EST)]This year's terrible tragedy definitely made me look at Christmas and life in general in a whole different light. I savor the time spent with family and friends and will never again take life or any of the other fruits of it for granted. I want to wish everyone on this site a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Best wishes to all, from the wonderful people who run this site, down the people who have become a part of it. GOD BLESS!!

It has been a very different year. And I believe that it has been a wakeup call for all who have taken their freedom lightly. We have lived our lives without fear, never wanting to realize that it could happen to us. It has changed many in their beliefs, and in their lives. But most of all I believe that it has made our country stronger and more united!
I have had many conversations with friends and family, and they all have come to the same conclusion, that we are closer and will remain closer. We will no longer sweat the small stuff and focus more on what is important, and that is our family, friends, and our committment to making every day of our lives the best we can make it!
And to those who are serving our great nation and may not be here for the holidays, a special thank you, no words can describe the heartfelt thanks and appreciation that I/we have for your committment!
(edit) Oops...Almost forgot...Thank you Ken for providing and maintaining this site! Your time and committment is very much appreciated!
God Bless...wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! :-X12
Thank you!
To all of you great people here, I just want you to know that I have learned a lot from you. From truck info, to advice, support, and a great laugh now and then, you have always been there for me! Some of you I have had the pleasure to talk to offline, and some I have only conversed with in posts, but I consider all of you as FTE family members to me!
To all and their families I wish for a very safe and happy holiday season! :-X12

I am very glad to know all on the boards. I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Year's. As Kenny mentioned, I have spoken to some, met others. And also a special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Payne for these message boards.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words! May everyone have a blessed holiday! I'll be at Pigeon Forge this year, so if anyone wants to hook up, let me know. Unlike last year, I will not be setting up a booth and selling parts. I didn't really enjoy manning the booth last year and I missed out on the fellowship FTE is known for! :-( This spring there'll be an FTE banner, with a poster board showing our schedule and where to find everyone! There won't be anyone chained to a table this time around....
