Well, if it wasn't for Sally, Sherry and Emmy (Val's Mom) Last Hope would have been running late every morning. I could not function before 10 and Emmy was there selling tickets and telling everyone about Last Hope. It was so much fun with those girls there keeping me in line; Steve Whitworth and his wife on the other side of us keeping us fed with apples, carmel, candy and salsa and Steve lugging LHSH stuff out to the golf cart. I laughed so much at this Nationals even though I didn't see much of the show; the people coming to buy tickets were absolutely awesome and I met so many new friends and Last Hope supporters. My crying moment came at the meeting when Vicki Burkey and I received our ROM for our sweet Calif....an honor I never thought or dreamed I would have in my lifetime. Once back to the Motor Home it didn't end with Angie King and Marti Layne keeping Vicki and me howling some more....what ever you do; don't eat chili before you go to bed....need I say more *BEG* Pat Lukos ============================================================================ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
