I just wanted to thank all of the Philbrick owners and supporters for making me feel welcomed at the Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance. I had the pleasure of being a passenger in R C Hildebrand's 1978 21' Philbrick during the Roar-Off on Saturday afternoon. What an awesome experience!

My personal experience from already having a Bachelors and a MBA is that my "trade school" degree has not only been the most fulfilling but at times the hardest of all my degrees.
