Exciting News

Post by Eric P »

Hey everyone, I would like to anounce a new union of wind addicts. This weekend I asked Anna Dunklee to marry me and she actually said yes. I guess I would really like to thank all the people who have become my friends due to this amazing wind addiction. We met on the beach and it's been all up from there. Thank you to everyone who has been there, supporting our separate addictions, leading us to the place where we met.

Best of luck to all you hungering for the same thing I've found, a partner in your life who understands even just a little bit of that thing that drives you to get out there and do it. Right now I'm just loving life. Thank you Anna for putting up with me and agreeing to be in my life.

I said you had the dead man look at Milly...I can't express how happy we are for you both. Can't be too bad when the in-laws are kiters too.
We will enjoy seeing who sits on the beach in a few years....luck and happiness to you both.

Happy Days

Happy for you BOTH! You could not ask for a better family to marry into,
so supportive and welcoming. I'm sure the Dunklees feel lucky to have you joining the clan, & continue their diabolical plan of world wide kiting domination. And besides, Anne is a genuine SWEETHEART!! :P JN

Great elevator to my day!

Congratulations and sending you all our love and intention for riding the wind outside any limits you previously knew. I'm imagining a corridor of kites for you to ride down the processional aisle, Terry flying high next to his daughter, lofting a major jump as he hands his daughter over to a new life of bliss and happiness. Peace and joy.
Ride...just be it!

Terry your the man! I don't know anyone who commands more respect out there than yourself, your always there to help anyone anytime unselfishly, Eric is the same way, he's always happy no matter what he's doing. Your whole Family Terry is a rare breed now days of just plain old fashoned kindness, thanks for being there for me catching my kite giving me pointers and just being you man!!! I couldn't think of a better get together than Anna and Eric, you all are the best and I probably long with everyone else in the community agree, I look forward to tearing it up at Reddy again this summer with you guys, Eric you need to push me to try some new stuff too!!!

I have to echo what my dad has already said; I have been on cloud nine ever since Eric proposed, but reading your great messages of congratulations makes that feeling even stronger. What a wonderful community. Thank you, everyone. I can't wait to see you out on the ice (or water) soon!

Congrats and way to go guys! Can't wait to see Eric kiting in a tux!
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,totally worn out and loudly proclaiming. WOW! What a ride!!
