Thank you everyone for the kind words! Amber, the more I think the more I'm stunned by your noble gesture. I'm so happy, it couldn't happen a better thing to the tree I built! ... I will work on building a real shock proof and crush proof shipping container...Tony Tony, this is my job! Can you imagine this tree crossing the ocean without such a special box? Adrian |

it dosen't surprise me that amber would be so unselfish to send it on to someone else who she believes deserves it. There are many unselfish people on this board and we all know amber is at the head of the list.
Congrats on winning and tony if ralph and i make it up there, i well be so excited to see the tree.
Adrain, ty for taking the time to put the tree together, its beautiful.
wtg amber,
ralph and mary ann

Ok, I admit man it was hard, LOL, Adrian kept asking me "are you sure, I put a special leaf on", showing the pictures, LOL!!! I was a nervous wreck all day!!! But I knew Catman was very deserving, what I did was not noble, it was necessary, Tony does so much and has touched the lives of so many!!! I really want to thank John (Builtonrock) that man is built on something not from this planet! He has been such a mentor to me in so many ways, and he was the one I confided in about the tree, and giving it to Catman, so believe me that man needs a prize, LOL!!!! I could not have gotten through he last 24 hours without him. He got a lot of my ramblings the last few days!!! He is always there to listen, and he helps so much and is so eloquent and always knows just what to say! So thank you John! You are a man of faith, a man of wisdom, and I am so glad you still speak to me!!!  I am going to bed it was a long day!! I will probably be dreaming about that beautiful tree in Romania!!! Many leaves make a tree....many friends make a life,and I got a great life!!!! ;D |

... Adrian kept asking me "are you sure, I put a special leaf on" ... ...and I did it, Amber! the brown leaf in the top might not be very spectacular, but it surely deserves its place on the top of the tree. It is a small piece of amber from Romania. We don't have much amber here locally and it's not high grade, but I thought even this way it would be a special add to that tree bearing in mind your name  And now after you decided to give it to Tony, this leaf deserves its place in the top of the tree even more than before, I think.

Awwww Adrian, that made me cry this morning, you are so sweet!, how touching to share that Romanian Amber and put it on the tree!!! You are a special guy as well! It was your creative genius and master planning that put this all together to share something so special, I don't know if I fully thanked you for the opportunity! My prize is meeting you in August, I can't wait!!!!
