Thanks to all the good folks who extended their always-warm Southern hospitality!

  1. Hi Joe, I was at the AWESOME Presentation in Columbia SC. and asked about the DVD of some of your Presentations. I will be emailing you to buy one probably in a few weeks, but just wanted to say that you provoked such a great amount of thought I will be reading and re-reading the books my DRE purchased when we were there. Thank you, Ryckie Watkins, Charleston, SC
