You have always been helpful - providing information, insight, weather reports, and patience. I was especially grateful for the posts that you made in the threads regarding the 2008 tornado that did so much damage in Atlanta, keeping us updated with news regarding the venue and hotels. You eliminated rumors and kept us informed. I hope you do make it to St. Louis in the coming years and that you share stories of the Atlanta years. You are an excellent resource for all of us. Thank you.

Wow, thanks very much Jane for your comments. I was in CD overdrive following the Atlanta tornado trying to give out factual and helpful info. Giving Atlanta info and help is something I enjoy doing and it is of course very nice to hear appreciation being thrown my way.

Yes it is sad to see it move but this is a global event that other cities and teams need to enjoy and be proud of. We have been fortunate to have the event in Atlanta for 7 years. I hope I can make it to St. Louis also. Can't wait for the Championship's to hit Atlanta one last time.

Somehow until today, I failed to get back to this thread to read your comments.
Dave
