I just wanted to say that even though there were not as many boas as i would have like to have seen in Daytona this year, i was able to meet a spent time with a few new friend in the industry. Thanks to Dr Warren Booth, Manny Frade and "Mr Boaphile" Jeff Ronne for their great conversations and time spent with me. I realize with so much to see that time is very limited. I wish i was able to meet more of you that frequent the forums but because i do not know faces (except Mr Boaphile's) in the industry it will take time.
I also would like to thank USARK, board members and volunteers, for there dedication and time spend fighting for all of our rights to keep and bread these beautiful animals that we so dearly love. With that being send, i would love to see the people in charge of these events start given a portion of the proceeds to USARK because without their continue fight our hobby / profession and their "shows" will be gone as we know it. I know that USARK had a great auction and raised some money but not enough. The people that are trying to take our industry away from us have an unlimited supply of money. PLEASE get involved with USARK with your money, time and or knowledge (Dr Warren) Keep fighting and I look forward to meeting many more of you in the years to come.
Dr Lucas Matlock
