Re: BGR Lifetime Achievement Award - 12/25/11 01:47 PM

Thanks everyone.

Most everyone knows that I'am not a "look at me

"kind of guy and usually hang out on the side lines and let the BGR team speak for us.No one of us is greater than "all of us".
Our success is the result of a great team of people that I'am honored to be involved with.I humbley accept this award on behalf of and in respect to my late son Curt,who put together the BGR team and to the team that carries forward his legesy and philosophy and to those who come in contact with us and take with them a little of Curt's character.To eveyone I give my humble respect.

At the risk of repeating myself,"thanks again" for all the respectful comments.I want to extend respect back to everyone.That people respond this way to the little we do,makes what we do most meaningful and worth all our efforts.
