Coach Hunt,

They say bad things come in 3's....well last week, Durty Nelly's in Chattanooga closed, Brett Farve retired on Tuesday and now you have turned 40.  Yikes!

Sincerely, Happy Birthday to you.  We have had a lot of fun together, and I count on your advice and counsel (but why couldn't you have talked me out of the tennis exhibition last month??).  However, I'm not sure my advice would have been much good to you during your "College Years".

They say the arena industry is like a family. You, Melissa and the kids were my first "arena family", and still remain my closest.  I remember telling promoters walking into our conference room for settlement to be quiet because Abby was sleeping on the couch in my office.  Hey, that was one way to get an advantage!

Turning 40 is not bad...it's the next "milestone" that sucks!

Cheers,

Coach Butler
