Neil,

Thank you very much for putting this drawing together. I'm amazed, but at the same time not surprised, that you have almost 600 pens to send to the troops.

You are a very good guy.

USAFVET98 · Jun 16, 2009

Congrats to all of the drawing winners, and a special thank you to Neil for putting this together. And an extra special thank you to the Troops for doing what they do to keep us Free!

Neil, I will be sending more out to you soon.

Rollerbob · Jun 16, 2009

Congrats to all you winners! Neil, hats off to you buddy for all the hard work!! I am proud to call you my friend!!! I am sure there were others that helped you and I want to say thanks to you also!!

I gotta be the most unlucky guy on the planet, just knew I was in the hunt!! Reminds me of the time I bought a suit with two pair of paints......burn a hole in the coat!!

MyKidsDad · Jun 17, 2009

Neil,

Thanks for putting this drawing together and for handling the logistics of sending almost 600 pens to the troops! Let's not forget to thank Bob (Purplehaze) too for his pen blank offer that got the ball rolling on this. I told him I was sending one pen and at the last minute decided to send him two, never expecting for a minute that he'd send me two sets of blanks. They were some really nice blanks too!

I figured I didn't have a shot at winning one of these great prizes that have been donated because of the large numbers of pens that were sent. I've been out of work for nearly 5 months now and seeing this tonight sure brightened up my day a bit!

Thanks again!

Dalecamino · Jun 17, 2009

Congratulations , to all the winners and pen donors . Thanks for getting involved . Big thanks to Neil and Bob , and to Neils son and nephew who will distribute the pens over in the sand box .

Great job everybody !

cnirenberg · Jun 17, 2009

Neil and Bob you guys did a great job, and for an excellent cause. What was the final tally of all pens received?

wolftat · Jun 17, 2009

Including the 2 pens that made it in today and the batch that I got handed at the New England Chapter meeting, we collected 168 pens in this round. That does not include the pens that I made and have included in the shipments.

In keeping with the theme of this thread, there is a posting over on the WoodNet forums that I thought you might be interested in. I asked the guy who started the thread over there if he was okay with me posting it here. He never replied so I'm just going to post a link to the thread on WoodNet instead of copying the information here.

In summary, the guy's coworker's friend's daughter is stationed in Iraq. Says she doesn't get much mail. Her birthday is coming up in July and a request was made to send her a bunch of mail for her birthday. Mail and email contact information is included in this thread at WoodNet.

CSue · Jun 18, 2009

Neil, Thanks so much for all you did here to remind us who we really need to thank - for the freedoms so many take for granted! You're a great one (Mr. Brown) and a wonderful source of encouragement.

Thanks to all those who participated in any way. And congrats to all the winners.

nava1uni · Jun 18, 2009

Neil,
Thanks for starting this pen drive for the troops. Is it okay if we continue to send you pens as we go along?
It is fun to win something.

Rick_G · Jun 18, 2009

Congrats to the winners of the drawings. The real winners are the troops who receive the pens.

I didn't get in on this one but I did send 20 pens to our Canadian troops a couple weeks ago with a letter of support wrapped around each one.

Keep up the good work and support for the troops.

tim self · Jun 18, 2009

I honestly didn't expect to win just know how much those young ones will enjoy them. Thanks for doing this and will send some more when I get to turning again.

Sorry guys. The thread was posted in the off topic forum and I forgot they changed the rules a while back that you have to be a registered member and logged in to see the off topic forum.

Here is the post (Please note that I'm not the original poster at WoodNet so I don't know the person in question or anything about her. I just thought it was a good tie in with the troop pen effort going on here.)

I don't usually post much but I've been sneaking around here for many years. To make a long story short a co-workers, husbands, friend has a daughter stationed in Iraq. She says she doesn't get much mail. Her birthday is July 7th and her father is asking everyone he knows to send her a card by mail or a greeting by email. I thought I'd turn it up a notch by asking if you guy's would like to help cheer her up for her birhtday.

I would be happy to keep collecting and sending the pens out. I usually send out a package every 6-8 weeks, but with summer being here and the school not in session, I am going to be short on pens.

Dalecamino · Jun 19, 2009

Neil , I will continue doing what I can .

wolftat · Jun 19, 2009

I didn't mean that last statement as a request for more pens, just that the kids are a big source of the pens that I send out, it keeps them busy and serves a good purpose. Besides, 2 that are graduating this year are heading down to the magic island.

Dalecamino · Jun 19, 2009

Sorry ! I didn't mean to mislead anyone . I knew what yu meant . Where IS the magic island ? I'm not too keen on corp lingo ! :biggrin:

USAFVET98 · Jun 19, 2009

Bob, if you come to one of our meetings, I will personally bring you a prize(do you feel better now?:biggrin

. All are welcome.

ngeb528 · Jul 11, 2009

As many may remember, Rollerbob was a 'little' antsy about delaying the deadline for the drawing. I promised him a lollipop, if he was a good boy.

Well, he was and this is what he got for being patient (and some other goodies).

Dalecamino · Jul 11, 2009

Lucky Bob ! Yep , he's gonna like that sucker . Does he get the pen too ?

Nice work Nancy ! uhh .... have you been reading Bobs posts ??? :biggrin::biggrin:

Well, Ms Nancy beat me to the posting of the grand prize

resent: for being a good boy(if you only knew)!?!

Anyway, yes I got the pen too. As I told Nancy, I was a bit peeved at the type of suckers she sent, DUM DUMS! Go figure.

The suckers are good, but the pen is outstanding. This should encourage others to be good boys too!!!

:tongue: Thanks again, Nancy!!

wolftat · Aug 5, 2009
