Subject: A note of thanks

Larry,
I greatly appreciated the information that you presented at the Taste of
NAB 2005 in Indianapolis at last evening's SBE meeting. I have already
ordered four of the Henry Engineering Superelays as a result of seeing
it on display. It is exactly what I needed to complete the interface in
my new studios between the SAS Rubicon consoles and the on-air lights,
as well as phone muting.
I would also encourage you to expand your line up of product, including
more radio RF and audio. It would also be helpful to have one of your
vendors supply plastic "advertising" bags for us to conveniently carry
all the CD's and literature that you provide.
Thanks also for the door prizes. I was somewhat excited to hear that I
had won a Sundance "Digital" notepad, but then realized that Sundance
"Digital" was the name of the company, not some digital type of handheld
PAD or PDA or tablet PC. Oh well, the pen was digital :-). It is greatly
appreciated.
Joseph really enjoyed the evening. He is 16, and I am home-schooling
him. He comes from a very disadvantaged home situation in Chicago. At
this point he would have been a high-school dropout in Chicago, and
sitting around all day in a rented basement playing video games and
watching TV. Joseph helped with the construction of our new
studio/transmitter complex and practically did the work of a full-time
engineer during this past year. He is also a big help on my little ten
acre farm and loves woodworking and mechanics, as well.
Thanks again and keep me on your e-mailing list.
