TOPIC: Got My Calendar Today!

Ron,
Receiver it today and as usual it's really well done! Thanks much for all your hard work on this project,and thanks for choosing "Lida Rose" for the cover, I couldn't be more proud! It really does take more time than some might think and I'm sure you did it for the big pay check!! LOL!!
Thanks so much once again,

Got mine today and it's georgeous! Flipped through it 4 or 5 times already. You did a fantastic job Ron. The only thing I wish is that it could have been an 18 month calendar. Just a thought.

Mine came today to Ron, fantastic job buddy! It really turned out very nice, you do have "a knack" for this no doubt. If you should happen to have any extras left over, I'd be interested in purchasing another? (Should have ordered two dummy - "kick in the butt, kick in the butt")

That Ron is a classy fellow eh? I got my calender yesterday and have weight sitting on it to flatten it out. Every year just gets better. Thanks Ron!

Frank

mine arrived yesterday. looks great!

Andreas

Received my calendars today...great! A special thanks and much appreciation for the tribute to my friend, Jim Lundy. He would have gotten a big kick out of it.

I noticed that too Nautilus, the tribute makes this year's calendar all that much more special, IMHO. Another one of Ron's little "magic touches" if you will. I remember well the smile on Jim's face in the pic you showed us, and I gotta believe he's "upstairs" smiling down on this now. Well Done, Gentlemen.

ron my friend you did a wonderful job,just as you do every year,im sorry we have the only boat not in the water yet,but that will change this spring.
and i agree a very nice memorial for jim,thank you ron for all you do for us,and thank you shipster,send me something to restore.john

So Gibson, what are you selling? Post pics of the fleet please and tell us what they are. JAG

Got mine yesterday too. It's awesome! Thanks again Ron!

jag,im not sure,i have been trying to decide which boat i was going to restore 1st for a long time now,2 of my boats are going to get junked ,i tried to give away the glaspar lido,and had twice ,2 different people wanting it,but they never came for it.
the other i bought just for the trailer,the boat is crap.
one is my nephews.

and the other 3 im not sure which im going to keep.
if i sell them ill post them in the glassifieds and let you know.john

WOW What a ride these babies had. DO NOT FOLD SPINDLE OR MUTILATE, guess someone missed that memo. lol
I called Ron on saturday when the calendars didn't show, noting that Andreas got his last week too and I should have had mine about that time too. Both Ron and I got a bit worried today when we went to look up the tracking number and there was no info available. Ron's wife even went to the post office today to get the low down on what happened. Well after 2 hours of trying to chase down my mail man on his route I caught up to him and sure enough he had them. When I looked at the box I couldn't believe the ruff ride they had. It lookes like they rolled them from NJ to MN for god sakes. Thanks to Ron's packaging they survived 2 major puncture wounds and one big enough to put your fist in. Today was day 6 on 2 to 3 day priority mail. I am just greatfull they even go here. My beloved Robin works for the post office and when she got home she could hardly believe the shape the box was in too. SO hats off to Ron for making a beautiful calendar and packing them well enough to go to hell and back cuz mine sure did.

GOOD RON, Sence the hole is the size of my fist you might want to rip them a new hole about the same size. Robin says there is no reason for this kind of package mishandling. All she cold think of is it got caught in a sorting machine. so it could have been stuck inside the machine for several days having other packages pound it to death. The look up number you have should be able to track it to the station that it spent the most time at. My post man Al said it looked like it was stuck in Ohio for a while when he scanned it. You should get a full refund according to Robin. Go get um Buddy.

Got mine on Monday. Can't see it until Christmas:( Can't wait!

I ordered two calendars...one for Jim Lundy's widow, Helen. I'd just like to reiterate how much I appreciate the "In Memoriam" note with the photo of Jim and his Garwood. I wish you all could have known him.

Here are a couple photos taken within the past two years: Jim and Helen pulling up to my boat and Jim and me drinking a toast to friendship...with my beer, as usual!

Got mine yesterday, they are awesome. Thank's for the hard work Ron.

I opened up my calendar tonight and I would like to thank you Ron for the nice work you did.

Just opened it! Wow it is awesome!!

i'ts satisfying to hear that everyone likes them as i'm only an amateur at doing this. "Merry Christmas" everyone and a healthy "New Year." Ron
