Hey Everybody......who is the Canadian Male that made it down????


Glad to hear that everyone is having a great time and the weather is cooperating.

It was melting here today.......didn't have to wear a jacket.

Like to see some pictures from someone

This is the first time I've been on a computer since last Saturday, but no problem, Bonnie has been doing a great job of keeping everyone informed of our doings!
We had a great dinner and a fun time tonight at the Sleuths presentation/play. We came back to the hotel and managed to get a few pictures taken. I was going to call Bonnie again and let Jan talk to her, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, we've all had a fun time, and unfortunately I'm headed out of here tomorrow. I KNOW they will talk about me once I'm gone!
Here's a picture that was taken after several members had all ready left this evening, but take a look, and see if you recognize faces!

I see I had some messages about 10 34 last night. I took 3 sleeping pills at 830 and hit the hay at 9 I actually got 3 whole hours of sleep. Figures that's when you'd all call.

I really, really wish I could have made it to the reunion. Only the second reunion I've missed. I can't wait to hear where next years will be. Are you having a summer one?

You all look like you are having a fabulous time!! Isn't it wonderful meeting everyone?!

Be sure to give Phillip and Lance a kick in the britches for me!!!

 

[Freddie]

That was pretty awesome Hank.
Did you happen to take your HR before you jumped? You looked kinda terrified and kinda pale when you landed
Your two point landing was done like a pro - good job!

Please say "HI" to everyone for me.

Cheers!

P.S.
you guys are doing a wonderful job keeping us posted.....thanks (don't stop)

Here is another cleaned up version of what Mary posted from my computer last night. Most of us had gathered in the lobby to gang up on Ross but he was smart enough to turn off is phone (Sleeping Pills-----RIGHT!!!!!).

Bonnie has already provided the "Who's Who".

Enjoy.

I would like to take a moment to THANK QAS (from the bottom of my repaired Heart) for their kind and generous treatment of ValveReplacement.com during the tour and meal afterwards. What a great bunch of folks and (ADVERTISEMENT COMING) always recommend them for the source of testing equipment and supplies. Great and caring bunch of people.

NOTE: The empty chairs in the back left were for Mary and her group. They didn't make the bus and we were on the phone guiding them to the place, thru a driving rainstorm I might add. They did make it.

what a wonderful time we all had yesterday, last evening and this morning at breakfast. Chuck & I found Pam and Christina by the pool and I knew them instantly. Then Jan and her husband happened along. We had a grand visit til time to go get ready for the evening dinner at the mystery theater. That was a really fun time. Then back to hotel where we gathered in the lobby to all have a word with Mr Ross, himself. Alas he was sleepin like a baby so we just hung around and took pictures, some of which are right here (on the couch PICTURe). Some of us had breakfast together this morning and then Chuck and I headed back to his home to his lovely wife and my granddogs.


When you meet someone you ahve been talking with for years, it's never like meeting a stranger. It's like coming together with a relative or family member after an absence of miles, but not togetherness. Truly a common thread runs from each of us to each of the rest of us. Guess it's a heart thing, huh?

i HAVE some pix, too but will have to wait til I get home to check them and post them.

 

[gadgetman]

Sleuth's. We had a short meeting before going into the Theater.

Cooker, take note of them folks eating again----after all that food the night before.
