I want to thank you for the show last night for the military. It was by far the longest best ski show I have attended. I still can’t believe that three ski teams were willing to add a show on an off night and you were willing to host it. Every part of the show was great. Of course I have preference toward the bare footing as my brother competes at the national level. My wife and I were still talking this morning on how great it was for all of you to take the time to put on a show for the military. Please thank your team members that took the time out of their schedules to perform.<br>
<br>
If you have e-mail addresses for the other teams and are willing to send them to me would be great or please forward my appreciation and thanks onto them.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your support to MMAF as I have received two separate grants for my service from the organization.<br>
