Alton I. Vance November 27, 2005

WOW! Thanks for all of the wonderful and encouraging comments. This was something my son, who is a designer for Troy Lee Designs, Hasbro, and Hot Wheels, ecouraged me to do. So it was somewhat of an experiment on my part. My wife didn't really like it so I almost didn't post this image but I decided to anyway. Now I'm really glad I did. I'm so happy you all enjoyed it. Of course it also gives me something to give my wife a hard time about. "I keep reminding her that this image was Grand Prize Winner." She is a wonderful sport about it and is as happy for me as I am.
Thanks again for your comments. - Alton Vance #2128754
