Parnelli,

It was great being a part of the beginners only tying group. As I've mentioned before to you I think I've learned quite a bit from the experience.

One thing, I hate to correct you, but since I came into the beginners only tying group halfway through the tying season, I don't think I've earned the right to be called a graduate yet.

I'll be in the beginners group again next season. After that, I'll be glad to accept the graduate status with pride.
