Erik,

I completely agree with you....the Auction went great!!!  I always enjoy the 
Auctions, but, Tuesday night's auction was one of the very best I can remember 
for how well it flowed and all the fantastic help we had too.  I am really 
looking forward to April now!

Thanks to all of you for giving me the opportunity to partake in the fun,

Clay

You guys did great, by the way... we're talking half "new" people, and 
when you look at it, it appears to have been the highest-grossing plant 
auction in the last 5 years -- certainly the most number of bidders and 
items and splits.  The items went for not-to-outrageous prices, so bidders 
got great deals.  If I'd had more sleep, I'd be gushing even more.  I 
apologize for not being as friendly last night as I could have been... and 
when I got home I took the next four hour fussy baby shift.
