We have probably met more members from this site then anyone else. From having dinner with my good friend Nico (Punisher) and his family in Maui,Tailgating in Ohau with Keawe (HWNJIDI),Kickin it with my baby Kita at the ProBowl and some arena fooball games in San Jose, the tailgate in Tennessee, and the appletinis with Raiderlove and Norm. Having BK,and Rhode spend the night at our house was a really great honor, Vacationing with cc_me and her family, To parting at the superbowl in San Diego when we lost to the Bucs, and having dinner with Enrique in Disneyland! We have enjoyed hosting five years of tailgates for the site. It saddens us to say good-bye to the many, many friends that we have met. We will never forget how much joy we shared with so many of you. To our friends from Canada, Europe, Australia and all over the United States. Long live the "House of Thrills" (HOT) and as always....Go RAIDERS!!!!!
With our Sincerest Regards,
Spider & Arlo

Thank you so much for all you've done for everyone at Raiderfans.net, and for all of the kind words and encouragement you've given me.
BTW, my son has completed his third tour in Iraq, and will now be recomissioned to Washington DC, Marine DIA.
