I wish to thank everyone for coming to the BIG DO DINNER and making it the most special night of the most special weekend of my life. Seeing the smiles and the laughs and the good times and the friendship and the LOVE made me feel I think I did a good job. And I feel that (in spite of one problem at the end) that the whole event can be considered a great success.

There are so many people to thank for this so I'll mention a few: Kristie, Alicia and Bob at Ruths Chris Steakhouse for helping keeping everyone happy, Boomer and Claire for coming over early to set everything up, and a special FOUR PAWS UP to my BIG BRUDDAR PREMEX/MR. LOVE for the special wine and most of all for being such a true friend.

Promise that next year for the CATMAN DO IN NYC, 2001 that the dinner will be PRE PAID and that we ALL do it in warmer weather (May I propose April or May, 2001?) It will happen, hopefully with all of you and more friends.

I love all of you!
