We thought Covington was ripe for this type of restaurant and the location worked. I'm sure it is no coincidence that the city is very encouraging with these types of projects.

All along, we thought he was a talented kid. He made some changes in technique and got better as the year went on.

Our thought was we could be proactive and not have to wait until after we got smacked. I guess that's not going to happen.

It was a crazy dream, a dream that I never really thought I would be able to realize. Oddly enough it took an art gallery in Paris to make that possible rather than the aviation industry. It really was Boy's Own stuff.

The galleries participating this year are better, and we have new, younger French clients, and we thought it was a good thing to participate.

It did surprise me to hear that. I really thought and still think he could be developed into a very good quarterback. When I went to see Nick at the end of the year, I told him the same thing.
