Courtney, a well deserved acknowledgment of your team and your success at creating outstanding Quail events during Monterey Car Week. Having attended The Quail over almost 30 years as an exhibitor or attendee, and most recently a participant in The Quail Rally, you have always been a person who has made my involvement enjoyable and positive. The success of the events speak for themselves as you have provided an exceptionally wonderful experience for the tens of thousands of people over the years who have participated in The Quail and related activities. Thank you for being you. A great Podcast.
