He's a Doctor so used to pressure, but I still wager his heart rate is high.

sorry that just slipped out. wow. okay i guess i need some help with the inscription...i am thinking something with both my name and calebs - some reference to his 5th birthday and a balloon of sorts. i am speechless - back to work to see a baby or two...

When you see him Patrick get my book!!!!! I was supposed to win!!! Just my luck that 396 of the entries said "Merlin1958" and Freeman grabs Chad's name!!!

Congrats, Chad! Can't wait to see pics. of the book/inscription when you receive it.

[cit74]

Thanks Bill - I don't think I could hold a candle to you as director for a day. And the family will be with me in Santa Rosa - so they can protect my books from Patrick - I will make sure Caleb brings his hockey stick

GOOD JOB jEROME AND EVERYONE WHO WAS PART OF THE EFFORT.
It makes one proud to be part of this family of King enthusiasts.

rather than thinking, "Why would I want to be part of a group who would have someone like me as a member"
