Hey Rich Stern

[Rob LaMoy]

Guess what I got returned to me? A plaque with your name on it! LOL Apparently the label I put on with your address didn't stick. Funny, it was taped over about a hundred times. It did find it's way back to the plant. Those durn "engineering samples". VERY sorry man, this was due to you a long time ago. Will reship it asap! BTW, I'm in on the shirts and like the idea of some funds for future rallys. Probably take 2 or 3 myself. Do you think Tracker will let us use the logo at all? Oh and any time you want to come up and try Champlain, let me know. We'll spoil ya good shape and make you want to move up here. For 7 months of the year anyway!

You shoulda told him that he had to be present to win!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

I wish he had told me it hadn't arrived, I would have tracked it. At least it's still in one piece. I'm starting to think it will be faster to give it to him at next year's rally! LOL

Hey Rob,...here's an idea!!..."first class mail!!"...LOL

[Rob LaMoy]

Oh YEAH, then he'll NEVER get it! OOPS or Fed-ex are the only way to go! Usually! LOL I had problems with the pony suppress pre 9/11, don't even get me started on post 9/11. All my customers are in NYC, Long Island, NJ! Ha, the hub of the Anthrax scare. I'm still getting mail dated 10/1 of LAST year, slightly burnt on the edges in their Anthrax "prevention" device! No joke.

 

[Staci Matheis]

Don't "Priority Mail" it..... They've reported that it takes, on average, an extra half-day for Priority Mail to get someplace over regular First Class!



And don't give it to Big Brown either..... Last year I shipped Rich a couple of rods packed in a section of plastic downspout that I thought would be secure..... They STILL managed to break one of the two - but not the second..... THAT takes skill!



me!

I figured by now you crossed out my name with a crayon and wrote yours in, and it was hangin' on your trophy wall.



I don't know if Tracker will be ok with the shirts. It encroaches on their turf a bit. Maybe if we agree to post something nice about the company every week, they'll let us go ahead with it.



I'd love to fish up in your neck of the woods, but live there? No thanks. Been there (Boston...10 years), done that. It's my favorite part of the world, May through September. You can have the other months.

Rich,



Regarding the use of Tracker and Nitro names...It's why I thought that if we start out with Tracker/Nitro Tournament shirts purchased through the Tracker Marine web site we might be in a better position to add our "Nitroowners.com" label to the shirt.

 

[Bill McElroy]

That's my idea too Greg,...exactly!! Buy them in bulk from Tracker with either the Tracker or Nitro logo's on them and then add our logo as req'd......much less hassle that way!!

You guys are Brilliant!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

One word of advise on OOPS, is NEVER write "fragile" on it. I guess that's italian for "throw with less velocity"! If you guys could see some of the boxes we get in here, with multi thousand dollar, calibrated tools! If they weren't packed in their own plastic case inside, they'd be toast. And of course our company policy doesn't let us insure packages, so all we get is the standard $100 when they do get broke!
