I wanted to extend a very special "Thank You" to all of you that sent me encouraging and uplifting notes and e-mails concerning the passing of our son Brad.

As I read your notes, I flashed back to the times when our paths crossed. Some of you I knew, others were perfect strangers, but we are bonded together by this remarkable sport of BMX.

I received special e-mails from legends like Greg "Barbed Wire" Hill and Eric "EC" Carter, nick names I gave them during my National announcing years. Man, what a privilege it was for me to watch you guy's.

Thanks to all of you that took the time to give us comfort. Ben Or, Roger Zigler, Vann Johnson, 1bmxrob1, Mark Summers, Joey Lake, gts340, jetblack, Johnny Ringo, dgbmxkidraceinc, John Sandberg, Cliff Edwards, Scot Fayard, Kelly Reece, Carl Lein, Leland Hill, or01bmxr, and Steve Bourke.
