From Larry Walton:

           As I looked back my wife and I almost did not make the trip to Terlingua with the economy in bad shape and not knowing if you will have a job are not. So glad we made it. You know for me it’s not the Chili I just love to cook but it’s the people that make the family of CASI. Chili Heads that welcomes and takes the newbies in and teaches them how to cook chili and share stories and laughs around the camp fire that’s what I love. I have to say thank you to so many people for helping me along the way but it was Randy Duke that took me to my first cook-off and I got 10^th place and was hooked. As I said on the stage I graduated from David Lefler University with a degree in Dukester Chili. Thanks for your help guys. Other who graduated are Gerald Casey, Jim (stink foot)Trietsch and their wife’s are the best friends you could have. I am looking forward to representing CASI and Central Texas Pod at all the cook-offs I can make. Thanks again.

           Hope to see all of you on the Chili Trails
