A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE

FROM THE SMITHS:
Hi Chiliheads,
I'd Like to thank you all so much for your concern over Smitty after the 2nd day of the AVI cookoff when he had to be rushed to the hospital with chest pains. The phone calls, emails and cards meant so much to both of us. I know all those well wishes got him back on the road to recovery and we truly appreciate your caring. Smitty has been resting up since then, so he'll be ready for the California State Championship cookoff in San Bernardino on May 2nd. Hope to see you all then. Again, many, many thanks to you all.....
Love, Virginia Smith (& Karl
