Got the EMEK back today 8-)I want to thank everyone again, she will be loved ;)

So the mailman came to my door with a poster tube. I wasn't expecting anything but recognized the address to be Aussie357. When I opened up the tube I saw to my amazement the EMEK Charlotte 96' :o .

I immediately was flooded with so many emotions & started to cry which made my 5 year old daughter cry also. She thought dad was hurt I guess. As my heart raced with joy and excitement I thought about all of my PJ friends that have become family.

I thought about how much time, effort & money it took to make this happen. Being a school teacher my Holy Grail was something that I've only dreamed about & thought would never happen in my lifetime. I immediately called Chad & talked for a bit & he explained a little bit about how this happened. I then tried to call Timmy & messaged SuMay. I really want to thank you guys for organizing this effort. I know this took a lot of hard work, hell I contributed thinking it was for something else.

I'm still shaken up by all this. I haven't gotten the list of other contributors yet, Timmy is getting that together & will give it to me. But to all my friends out there that made this happen you have made my year, this is the happiest day I've ever had not including the birth of my children.

The Pearl Jam family really does make miracles happen, I love all you guys and will always do anything I can for any of you. You guys really have made me feel loved & appreciated like I've never felt before. I'm still in shock and disbelief that you guys thought enough of me to do this.

I will now have my Holy Grail hanging in my house forever & when I look at it I'm gonna remember all of you in such a warm way. I'm on a serious high right now & there aren't any drugs involved ;).

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
Thanks Again
Robley

Btw- sorry Paul for all the 4 letter words I called you when you wouldn't return my pm's, I understand now :D .

    You're always the first one to jump in and help ANYONE out around the PJ 'hood - you definitely deserve it bud!!!
    So many GREAT forum members were SO generous and enthusiastic about making this happen - this really is such a cool, caring family!!! Thank you all so much on behalf of Timmy, Su May and I for helping a silly little idea (that seemed like an impossibility) turn into such a huge high for an awesome PJ brother and friend!!! I really believe that what goes around comes around, so y'all better get ready for something good :D
    Robley - you better clear off a wall and get that bad-boy front and center!!! :thumbup:

    * You have no idea how close I was to giving everyone's money back and keeping that thing.... it's amazing in person!!! jk :lol:
    ** I think 10C should hire Su May to be their fundraising director too!!!
    I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired... Hey I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.......

    Another great Grail. So glad to see Robley get the poster. Thanks for sharing your emotions, that's my favorite part.

    Although you rocked me in Fantasy Baseball last week, I'm still very happy for you. :D
