Lunkers0 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Nice work John. I didn't see anything that I would change. Quote
squid Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 John, If you are under 18, I don't recommend putting on your phone number, but what about an email address to contact you with? That is the only thing I see missing. Are you going to Kentucky this May? See you on the 11th, Squid Quote
topwtr81 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 john this is outstanding, squid is right for an online format phone must go, it's fine if you are sending a hard copy to an idividual. the biggest difference I see in your's and some of the other's on here from young guy's is that you are already active within the industry. Once again nice job Quote
