JAMES ARNESS BIRTHDAY POEM WINNERS

I have to tell you that the response was wonderful to our birthday poem contest. We received hundreds of poems and raised a very generous donation for our favorite charity, United Cerebral Palsy.

First I want to thank each and every one of you that participated. I wish that I could proclaim you all winners. Several of us read all the poems and re-read them several times. I finally chose the top three winners and my wife, Janet, loved the choices. We will have their poems displayed on the website for your enjoyment.

Yes, I know that the contest said winners 1-6 for the places but I couldn’t stop there. There were so many great poems that I told Janet to add 10 more winners to the list. The 4th to 16th places are in no special order I just couldn’t pick between them.

Thank you again for all the wonderful poem. I am truly honored to have so many great friends and fans.
