Default Congratulations Dave!
Hey congratulations on your award. Always feels good to have someone recognize the hours that you have put in to have the Corvette looking good. Wish I could have been there to see you get the prize.

Hang in there. Hoping to see you for the picnic in July.

Thanks everyone for your comments. My wife said I was in shock when they called my name. I spent hours last Sunday cleaning and polishing every inch and I even cleaned in the wheel wells. They did check them.
