I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.  Happy Chanukah to our Hebrew Pinto Bretheren as well. 2011 was a wonderful year and we accomplished so much while having a fun time.  The Stampede raised over $12,000 for the Wounded Warrior project and Jim madison raised over $37,000 more with some locals in his area.  It is nice to see the Pinto community rally behind this cause and collectively we have raised over $50,000.  Dave Kawa and Brian (Cookieboy) Campbell have also made huge contributions to the cause.  The Stampede was a blast, the 40th at Carlisle and all the other car gatherings were so much fun.  Knott's we didn't forget about you, there wil be a Stampede to you coming in 2013, you heard it here first.
I personally met so many great people, made new freinds (yes, and I do not call everyone my freind, just those who really are) and you all are my freinds.  I want to keep it going, to different places, different faces and all are welcome.
Thanks for a wonderful year, one I know I wil never forget, hopefully you had a great time as well.
