Subject: Before I forget - we all should give a big shout out to Mr. Edwin! Author: sealbeach740 : member since January, 2004 : 7561 posts Posted on: 2008-01-20 01:48:48

He went way beyond the call of duty - insisting that he get to everyones car for coding & other support before he'd take a break (or eat lunch). He also has tons of patience - working on one car, answering questions about someone elses car, and joking the whole time. What a trooper. And all this, MILES away from home. I'm sure he was/is being treated very well by all the SD guys, but I know everyone was impressed by his commitment to helping everyone out. Thanks, Edwin!
