Congratulations Graham!

Best,

Dave Hartman.

Thanks everybody,

Wer'e still in a state of shock around here - we really didn't think we were going to win. I still don't know that it's sunk in yet.  Probably didn't help that my practical joking step-son called before 6pm using a fake voice to tell us we won, ha ha.  Didn't fool me though - I've been getting silly calls from him for years.

Janet and I just want say how honored we are to deal with a world class operation like Erics' Exotic Aquatics company.  When we began looking into the possibility of putting a pond in our back yard for Graham, we checked out Aquatic Exotics.  We knew that their filtration systems and installation skills were top notch - but with both of us working full time, Janet fininshing her bachelors degree, me finishing a graduate degree and 6(!) young adult kids between the two of us, it just wasn't going to happen at this time.  We used all the info we could read from Erics' company and then tried to do an "El Cheapo" of our own until finances were better.  We never thought in a million years that we'd be able to upgrade like this!!

Thanks again to everyone and a special thanks to Eric, his family, and Exotic Aquatics!!!

Jon, Janet, Graham and the Koi Boys.

Congratulations Jon, Janet, Graham, and Koi Boys! You had a darling entry! It'll be fun to see Graham getting the "digs" he sooo wanted! I hope your new pond brings your family TONS of pleasure.

And thankyou Eric for putting on a fun event. Your generosity epitomizes the Christmas spirit!

P.S. Let me know if you want me to keep lookin' for a girlfriend for Graham. Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at pairing up beasts, even nonhuman ones.

Congratulations!!!
Your entry was totally cute! I hope to see Graham's new home very soon.

We enjoyed being a part of this competition.

Barbie,

Thanks for your support in this contest and you can bet your lucky stars we will have plenty of photographs of the before, during and after installation of Grahams new palace!

Can you see it now?  Graham doing some of the pond construction directing wearing a hard had?  Graham with a shovel?  Let you imagination PONDER!

Graham doesn't know it yet but we will be asking him to participate in our Pond Tour For The Cure this summer so hopefully everyone will get the opportunity to come and visit Graham and his new Pond MakeOver this July!

NOTE TO ALL:  Remember we are looking for Graham's Soul Mate!  I will ask Jon U if he has a list of traits that Graham is looking for and see if we can get it posted here on the board, so we can do some match making!

Sincerely In Ponds,

Okay Monsieur Le Pond Digger, don't say you didn't ask for it:
