Hi Eric,
Yes, I am able to go and would love for Beau to be the recipient of this
award. Hunter said he would go with me and hopefully do the speaking to
accept the honor/award. I'll check again if Ash wants to come as well. At
this point I imagine they just want to know about making Beau their
honoree. Thanks so much.
Talk soon,
Hallie
