From two SCCW superstars beginning their families - one, a new baby, the other just getting hitched - to some vets coming back and guys leaving the company on their terms or not, it's still been a hell of a year. I have seen and heard a lot of great things and been there for some of them. I have been around TRP for a year now and loved every bit of it. Every time you come to a show, you are met with a handshake and a smile, sometimes hugs from everyone. What's what first got my attention; all the respect teh TRP guys have for each other. You won't find that in any, and I mean any, other indy company in the New England area. To the helpful hints I got over this year, I can honestly say I am here for good and am so happy that I have found not just a great hobby but a great group of friends, almost like a family. What the hell, it's like a brotherhood. Also this year, TRP lost a friend and brother. A YPW superstar said to another that you might have lost a brother, but just remember that you have sixty brothers right here and if that's not family, then what is? These guys and girls have given me many laughs and good times through tons of festivals and parks to parties where some of us drink a little too much and did crazy things to each other and the times where we wanted to kill each other on the road. It all goes away come showtime. We buckle down and get to work. Everyone knows where they're going and what they're doing and it's all because of the office. Joe Eugenio, Steve Ricard and Jamie and Joe P. These guys bust their asses for all of us and I thank them. Here's to another year and many, many, many more laughs. ~ Gene Joseph
