Dear friends, announcing my retirement

Dear friends,

And I mean, friends! Over these past 10+ years, the Mighty Layout Boys website has created so many wonderful, lasting friendships. I thank God for each and every one of them!

By the grace of God, I am able to close a chapter in my life. That would be the work chapter as I currently know it. I have always been in Industry, going back to 1973. I am leaving my day job this November 1st. Bear in mind, this date has nothing to do with the upcoming waterfowl season (wink).

I am also retiring from the business at hand. The Mighty Layout Boys LLC has been a blessing on so many levels! It is time for me to move on. I will always frequent this website forum, and drop in to add my comments.

I have sold the business to Jamie Stone and Standard Glass. They have been building all the boat models, these past 8.5 years. They have helped to develop several of the boat models, and have paid attention to the customer in all of their work. I am confident that Jamie and Standard Glass will continue to create great products for the waterfowling community. Expect to see some of those products in the future.

For the time being, Jamie can be contacted at (574) 546-5912, until the toll free number is officially transferred to his business.

It is with some melancholy that I leave two jobs, but the future is bright, thanks to incredible blessings from our Lord Jesus.

God Bless all of you!

Well... Good for you Mark!

I am going to miss seeing you at the shows.

Bu now you can spend some quality time with your wife and family.

(Although I did hear a rumor you've been picking your electric six string a little more than usual lately???)

Hope all is well.

Don't be a stranger!

Congratulations on a long and successful career and thank you for your committment to the waterflowing community over the past 10 years. You took your love of layout hunting and shared it with everyone through quality products and outstanding customer service. I'm proud to have seen it from the start and watch it flourish under your careful guidance. At this point I can only wonder what the next chapter in your waterfowling life will be.

Take care and stay in touch.

Good Luck Mark!

I hope some day to get up there during waterfowl season, and hunt with a few of the Famous MLB gang. I wish you the best. I'm sure there will be no less than that for you and all of your friends.

Mark,

Congratulations! Go have fun and enjoy yourself, you've earned it! Watch out though, when my dad retired he had big plans for fishing, hunting, etc, but by the time Mom got done with her list he wished he was still working!
