D.M., J.H. and T.G., looking good!

Hey, Brock R., thanks for thinking about “the nerds.”
Happy retail marriage to D.P. and D.G. You were great before and will be even better this time around. Just how many types of fuel can one chain fit on a pump? S.Z. may find out. D.M., we’re flattered, but get your photo priorities straight!
Great seeing you on the floor, Bob G., and all the best on your new real-estate business.

S.H., you planned that foot injury, didn’t you?
Overheard at the NACS Show: “We (Couche-Tard) are overdue to acquire some more assets. Stay tuned.”
B.E., we always knew you were a rock star!
Good luck to a Panhandle chain on its eight-day “extreme makeover.”
