I would like to take a moment and reflect.

Upon Joining this board on 12/05/04 around Member # 1350 or so...I spent quite some time reading some of our first members posts and great advise, some of whom are still on this board and continually offer great advise to the brotherhood now approaching 11,000 members.

After some thorough reading, I began by asking a few questions, almost immediately I was contacted by a long time member no longer visiting Costa Rica and was invited for my 1st trip. I arrived on January 6th, 2005 for a week of fun.

Staying at Sportsmens Lodge, I immediately became one of the family and CRT brotherhood that continues strong today some 11 trips and almost 2 ½ years later.

I have met some great guys that I now consider Buenos Amigos who I am confident will remain friends the rest of my days.

The purpose of this post is to show my most respectful admiration and thanks to the gentlemen early on who showed me the way as well as many many others I have met along the way. No need to mention any names in this post..ALL OF YOU know who you are.

Upon earning my Phd from Del Rey University, (although rarely spend any time there except to meet up with the brotherhood. I could never approach the advise I have learned from some masters, I just hope I can continue to pay it forward and help in any small way I can.

Thanks again to all of the CRT VIP brotherhood.

Most Sincerely

I liked you better as ChicagoGuy...j/k
Congrats on your new PhD...now maybe you can apply for a well-paying job like Schools Superintendent back home.
It's been a pleasure knowing you, too!

I am told that Del Rey University is a most prestigious institution. I imagine that their diplomas are printed on sheepskin, considering the surplus the maids must find every morning.

Congratulations
