      From Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 03/26/08 - "2007 Woman Drivers Awards" (#6 in a Series of 10):

I think, therefore I am, no, no!! I think I sent this out previously if not before, still sounds right, but because of its absolute accuracy and recognition of skills only possessed by our lovely ladies; not to mention that I really can't remember whether I sent it or not, I am sending it now?!

 

Also, it was sent to me with orders to so do!! That is, forward it.

 

Without further ado, I give you the "winners"!!

 

If they can't take a joke...
 

The 2007 Women Drivers Awards     5th Place Goes to:
	Sorry to trouble you Ms., but I wonder if you could tell me a little bit about this hose?

Thank you to all contestants for giving us all a reason to laugh and smile.

   Thank you, Wayne Honey! This is an excellent example of why I decided never to take driver's ed or apply for a driver's license!

Carol,

I just felt you'd like this today.

Thank you for being such a friend to so many of us.

Charlie

Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in '08 including me. 

		"Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
		The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.  Send it to some balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you like.

   Y'all take care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER!  We'll Always Have Buckroe!
