Congratulations Raymond and Pam Steelman, GRAND CHAMPIONS!!!

By Carl Kaun, 10/19/03,

Wow! I had a GREAT time. Beautiful weather, beautiful surroundings, beautiful food, beautiful people. Thanks to the Gold Coast people for organizing it, and to John Hopkins (as I understand it) for making it into a KCBS event.

I hope someone will post a complete list of winners. Usually I take notes of them at the awards ceremony, but I didn't do that this time. I do have pictures of the winners I'll provide as soon as I download them.

Congrats to that damned Raymond (oops, I mean everybody loves Raymond) for his grand champ finish. Tom and I cooked a Zeke's Smokehouse butt into the absolute best tasting pork I have ever eaten, and it took
second to Raymond's. I was trying to figure out his secrets but I
passed out beside his EZ-up before I got any. And now he's moving back
to Tennessee before I have a chance to try it again.

It was a small event, as such things go, but really special. Thanks
again to all the participants.
