Military Retiries And Those Who Served **We Have A Winner**

MTuccelli

I want to than all of you that have served so proudly for our country, you have represented her honorably and I am proud to be a part this group. I have a contest running for out active duty members and there is no way I am going to forget about you guys. This contest is just like the other pick a number from 1 to 200 and the one that nails it or comes closest without going over gets a little Christmas Cheer from my family and I.

One guess per person and I will close this at midnight PST tonight (Cali time) and I will announce the winner in the morning and ship on Thursday.

You're an awesome BORK, Mr. Tuccelli, sir, and I just want to thank you for the contest. I served, but it's been so long ago and I did so little that I'll respectfully decline to choose a number. I'll just say "Thank You" to the vets who are still with us and offer a prayer for those who aren't.

A very Merry Christmas to all.

MTuccelli

You all are welcome, Marty are you sure you don't want it? You are my brother in arms and I think you should jump in.

Very thoughtful Mike, I'll go with lucky 13..USAF 86-90

MTuccelli

Well it is midnight so the contest is closed. I decided after reading what Marty posted he needed to be in the contest. A vet is a vet is a vet no matter what. So I picked Marty's number for him, I took the position he posted in and used that. I hope that is OK with everybody who is playing.

Here are the players and the numbers they chose. I will run the random number generator thingie later tomorrow and announce the winner then

spindrift 69
slickric 137
wwhwang 86
jlmarta 6
lcpleel 187
greg2648 112
skweekz 18
jsnake 142
The Kid 13

Good Luck to all that played

MTuccelli

Ran the random number thingie and we have a winner. Congratulations slickric you picked 137 and the number was 140. By the rules you were the closest without going over. Please PM me your info.

jlmarta

Congrats to Slickric for the win, and many thanks to Mike - not only for the contest - but also for his seemingly limitless generosity. That was a very nice thing you did, Mike, and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. (Of course, I am all warm and fuzzy, anyway). But seriously, your kindness is appreciated. Thanks, Mike.

MTuccelli
