“Here's a BIG thnanks to all of you that offered a place in Wichita Falls for my friends to "crash" during the upcoming bike race! I always knew chili cooks were the best group of folks...and you've gone out of your way yet again to prove it! Thanks especially to Jim Ezell and his family for being so helpful, and for making a space for two wonderful friends to enjoy your hospitality. I know you'll all have a blast.

Thanks again, everyone..and I'll see ya in Terlingua!” (Robin Fox)
