Congratulations gentlemen you represented your school and dealerships well.

Welcome to JD TECH

As everyone knows I have an incredible addiction to computers. I would like this area to be available to students past and present to share information and pictures of their favorite toys (whether green or not). It can also be an area to talk about school activities. Please keep the posts and pictures acceptable for all audiences.

Thanks Duane
