Oh sure, rub it in. The last 2 weeks have been a nightmare for us, so vacation time was cancelled. Sounds like a blast though. Have a few beverages for me. We will not miss next years expo. 1700 loaded miles in the past 3 days though, so i guess my luck is changing.

Well, it's a wrap and it was a hit! What a show. This morning started with an excellant breakfast courtesy of Express 1, thanks to the gang from Buccanan. The Mod Squad was recognized for their great contributions and the highlight was hearing from RichM via cellphone. He was given a plaque in honor of his work on EO over the years, which was accepted for him by Shecky, er.. I mean Terry O'Connell. Rich sounded well and tried to sell us his truck.

After that, it was another great day at the show. At 1500 everyone gatered at the main stage hopeing to go hope with MY $1000, and someone did. Sorry I did'nt write down the name. A visibly emotional Lawrence, with his beautiful family at his side, was presented with an award honoring his vision and hard work concieving EO and the Expo. Good job!!

I'm sure others will have much more to say about this very successful event.

And Dreamer, since you're a real nice dude, I'll let the whole "Herm" thing slide.

This Expo, especially in light of past Expos at the Detroiter, AND the fact that it was entirely free, was awesome! The trucks, vendors, entertainment, & workshops, were even better in the elegant Roberts Center. Lawrence, his wife & children, TerryandRene, Dreamer, DaveKC: this will be a tough act to follow! :D :D :D

Yes it was truly a very AWESOME experience from Wilmington today. I deffinately loved the breakfast, Thanks a whole bunch Express-One. You did a fantastic job and I wasn't expecting that kind of breakfast, and the food was GREAT! Hope to go back next year,with my dad, "arnie567", and his girlfriend, "wrongwayangel". It was nice meeting all of you at the breakfast. Even though i'm a young one I had a blast! And it couldn't of been any better. Thanks to all of you all for the humor to who was all at the breakfast at 7:30 this morning. But it was nice meeting you all. Hope it will become more bigger next year!

Many thanks to everyone who attended the EO Forum Breakfast.

It was an honor to spend some time with the folks who have been such a blessing to me.

A special tip of the hat to Lawrence and his dear family for making the forum a comfortable place to gather information and cultivate some new friendships.

Best regards to all,

It was absolutely fantastic. Getting to see that many trucks in one place really made it easy to see things that will be nice when spec'ing another truck. The people were all great and now there are lots of faces to go with screen names. The breakfast was fantastic. Who'd have ever guessed Jeff Curry was such a good cook? ;) Only 363 days to go till next year's show!!!

What a show. It was great to put some faces with the names. Thanks for the breakfast E-1. You guys are definately first class. The EO gang can't help but get a great deal of satisfaction from such a great show. I had a great time Herm and I owe you a dinner.

I saw Scott later in the day and I told him that I was impressed that the President did'nt misunderestimate the success of E1. It looked like the humor missed its mark.

We felt the Expo was exactly how Lawrence told it was going to be:...
AWESOME!!!!! Had A Blast!!!! Met so many people that I could put with their screen names on here. We laughed so much in two days, that our jaws still hurt. Can't wait till next year. A Huge "Thanks" to everyone that had anything to do with putting it together. We appreciate all your hard work.

Yes, it was a great truck show. Sure glad i went and got a few things fixed while there.

Glad to put some faces to some names. Too bad my memory isnt the greatest so i'll forget in a few days :+


Hope to make the next expo and have some good stories to tell about my trip on the road.
