Thanks all for the positive feedback....
I did put a lot of work into that last article and hope it helps advance our industry.
And I didn't do it alone... SO here's a few of the men that were of great assistance...
Thanks Tom Dunlap....
Tom quickly made several recommendations for changes which were implemented, and more importantly gave me the confidence to promote it shamelessly. Tom is the foremost authority on industry standards and techniques, and the related industry educational information, that i know of. So when he gave a thumbs up to the article, I knew it was OK. Having that confidence goes a long way... so thanks Tom...
Mark Chisholm turned me on to footlocking.
Big John Grier taught me to footlock and helped me get the technique somewhat efficient, and Jon shot the cover pic.
Jim Roach made some excellent suggestions for changes and helped me further refine my techniques. Jim also was instrumental in getting me to footlock in competition. That's another story though.
Dave Munch shot the pics for the body and gave me a huge amount of support in other areas that allowed me the time and energy needed to put this article together..
And the staff at TCI did an absolutely fantastic job. I was very impressed with their professionalism. Don Staruk in particular, organized the layout in a way that made it flow so well. He was a pleasure to work with.
So I got a lot of support which may not be readily apparent. The longer I live the more I realize the lone ranger mentality ios just part of the big lie.
So thanks again to all.
Your tree brother,
Daniel
