Cecil:

You forgot a couple.. MiniFest in Feruary, MiniFest in Aug.. and a few others.. You epitomize the concept of Cub Pro, you help everyone, all the time with nary a concern about what you have on your own plate. Your CubFests have become legendary and everyone can count on getting their Cub fixed ifn they bring it.

It is a privilege to call you friend.. and a close friend

[dirt devil]

Cecil it is a great pleasure to visit you once a year in October. As Rudi Said you are a true friend in deed. We are very glad to have met you and Pris.

[VinceD]

Cecil, that's a very interesting bio. Hope someday to have the honor to meet you in person.

[Bill Hudson]

Cecil,

Thanks for the interesting bio. I attended my first Cubfest at your place in 2006. You and Pris were and are tremendous hosts. I do not plan to miss this affair in the future. Thanks for your willingness to share unselfishly your time and talents. I also look forward to you and Larry staying at our place this summer, as you travel to a Cubfest.

Bill

[Cecil]

Hey guys thanks for the kind words. You all know I like having fun and helping folks with their Cubs is some of the best fun you can have.

[John(videodoc)]

Thanks for sharing with us Cecil, and i as others have said, consider it an honor to have met you.

Cecil,

You are one of the folks who helped me to do the "initial resurrection" of Merlin (Cub) at Cubfest 2007. Without your help (and that of SO many others that year), he would NO WAY be running today and I would still be a City Boy looking for a Lonely Cub!

See what you started????????????
