Bill,
I just wanted to follow up on our trip last week and thank you for everything you did to help plan and execute the event. Your hospitality before, during, and after the trip made a great trip even better. The equipment was fantastic and the food was excellent. If and when I get the opportunity to visit the BWCA again, I will give you a call and will certainly recommend your company wholeheartedly to anyone who is planning future trips.
