Attn: All Baja Owners
Folks I felt the need to write an email and forward it to those folks that were BAJA thanking them for all they have done for us. Lets face it a boat is a boat but the people are what makes the company.
I would like to ask each one of you to take a minute and send an email to those people that made it happen. The movers and shakers that worked hard to bring us a product we could enjoy and be as proud of owning as they were proud to offer it to us.
If you would like to do this then PLEASE do. Here are the key folks to contact. I really think they would enjoy and appreciate hearing from the members of the Baja family.
Barbara Grobicki - Marketing Mgr.
[email protected]
Blane AArup - East Coast Sales
[email protected]
David Olson - President
[email protected]
Dave Leonhardt - Model Year Specialist
[email protected]
Greg Leonhardt - Boat Tester
[email protected]
Karen Weir - Customer Service
[email protected]
Jay Prestwood - West Coast Sales
[email protected]
These folks helped with design and graphics. They brought us the "Full Throttle" Baja magazine. They brought us the "Baja Poker Run Tour". They worked the boat shows and attended the poker runs. They are our friends and I hope you will take a moment and tell them that their hard work was appreciated by you.
Thank you

Greg & Jason
For those that don't know Greg was the guy that ran and tested the boats rain or shine, winter or summer so they could be validated and offered to the public.
Jason was the face of the Poker Run Tour pulling all the boats around the country.
Both are great guys and in Fort Myers still testing as I write this.

If you bought a new Baja on the East coast or went to a poker run you know Blane.

Blane at the Ski Dock Lake Travis run April 2006.
He always has a smile on his face and is always willing to help out.
If his lips are moving he is saying something that you will like to hear!

If I may, I would like to include the following people to your list. Even though none are still connected with Baja I feel that they were instrumental in bringing the Baja product line to the level it has reached today.
Doug Smith for starting it all way back when.
Dean Reynolds who would go out of his way to make you feel like a person and did a great job in his marketing. At least where I was involved.
Gene Weeks also gets mention from me for his involvement.
I am sure there are many others that I did not get the opportunity of meeting.
Thanks,
Mark

Yes by all means add anyone and everyone. I had just focused on current employees but should also list J.R. Jenny.

PS: You planning on Cumberland this year? The next time our paths cross I feel I MUST get a ride in your boat with the new top secret power!

I think we will bring the boat up for a nice long weekend but not do the run and just hang out with Kevin on the houseboat and watch.
I will be happy to take you for a ride.
