I also want to thank all who attended our event, because without you it would not have been such a success. Your enthusiasm, your patience and understanding and your help contributed to the success of the event. As with all first time events, we learn how to make the next one better and we have already started to think about next year's.

It was great to meet the people we talk with on this board in person. We have made many new and lasting friendships. I hope that everyone had as great a time as we did and that all of you plan to come back next year. We appreciated everyone who jumped in and helped us - it's difficult when there are only two of you trying to manage everything.

Special thanks to Gary C., Larry Lord and Tony Goertz!!! Special thanks to Linda Schultz and Michael Haas who gave up their weekend to come down and direct traffic and keep an eye on things for us!!

Special, special thanks to Carol. Carol has worked unselfishly to make sure that this event was an enjoyable one. She had to give up some of the fun to work behind the scenes and I want you to know what a great job you did! I am looking forward to working with you on it again next year and make it an even better time!
