I feel he was representing all of us that could/would not go! Not only that, but he was there supporting the board members who were looking out for us, the membership. Unfortunately, it appears right now that the whole thing has turned into a fiasco. I only hope I can eat those words!!!!! I picked but one such post to respond. You are very welcome. But, there is nothing I like as well as seeing old friends, making a few new ones, and listening to bright people with ideas I hadn't thought of. I miss not seeing so many of these people, all the time. I got to talk to Carmen for a few minutes, said hello to Tom, and hugged Rita. (I do that all the time). I had breakfast with Kris, and even Bart took a minute to chat. I did get to say hello to Carolyn and Nancy Nellis, and our other Nancy as well as Sharon. Even if Sharon and Carolyn are in California, I don't see enough of them. Joan talked to me for a minute too, and of course Lew and Gary and I did exchange a few chuckles. I don't mean to miss anyone, but these are such good people, and I try to see them when I can. In this case I was asked to be there, and I was pleased to do it. It convinced me that I am coming back, but I do look gaunt, and have to figure out how to gain some weight. I promise to work on it.
