Hey hougie, you ever work with my parents, Dave and Linda? Been a few years since they worked there but I think they still stop in once in a while for a visit. They are up in Valleyview now.

One day I'll get smart enough to post some pics etc but as this seems to be a bit of a gathering of clan I'd just like you all to know that I own a 1982 Patrick ARR7.

I took the operators course back in the fall of 2004....Since that time the course has changed quite a bit.

When I did it there was alot more offered in the course in the way of classes...a couple yrs after i took it they revamped it, took out a few of the classes and shortened the course and raised the price. lol When I took it, it was a good course, I don't know what its like now 8 yrs later...
