Jerry; You began this thread with a heading "Let's Clear The Air". I responded in what I thought was a constructive manner and offered a possible reasonable solution to the issue. I would like to add one further observation. You state in your current post; "Knowing that we were involved with TI's and the donation of this strike to the Club because of it being voted SOTY was the reason why WE got them to donate it to our club!

I may be wrong, but I believe the Silver Strikers Club members voted the TEN DOLLAR Treasure Island Sirens strike as SOTY.
The reason the $200 TI strike was donated to the at the 2005 convention banquet is because CC & GTCC members voted the $200 Sirens strike as SSOTY. In other words, for the benefit of newcomers here, there were two separate contests. One by Silver Strikers in which the $10 strike was voted best and the contest by in which the $200 was voted best (SSOTY). (BTW) The Silver Strike club website 2004 SOTY winner is incorrect. It shows an image of the $10 Treasure Island Sirens (which is correct)... but in the description is incorrectly described as being the $200 strike.

Lastly, you posted; "Oh and by the way, no one ever said that my wife was at deaths door, I can't believe how heartless this group really is!" Jerry; That annonymous post by an alleged former Silver Striker does not reflect accurately on "this heartess group". It reflects upon a single ignorant heartless individual who lacked the courage to post his/her name or email address.
