From Kelly Brignon:
Gary and I will be at the Board meeting on Saturday and should anyone attending (board members and chili cooks) need a spice order brought to them, I am more than happy to do so. I won’t have an inventory with me; I’ll only bring orders that people have asked me to bring.  You can email me, call me, or place an order online and simply leave instructions in the “notes” part of the order form.  Our contact information is below.

From Vickie Childers:
Thank you Rocky Rockwell for your article about Jim. You are right, "enough is enough."  I have known and worked with Jim many years before he was CASI Director the first time.  He has always had the entire CASI organization as his main focus, not just the State of Texas. This was something that came up that he thought would get CASI's name out in front of the public and that is what we want. I am sure that he has devoted more time to CASI than anyone will ever know. In my opinion, CASI would not be where we are today without his hard work. Jim, thanks for all you do for CASI.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
