Steve, as "newbies" ourselves, I must agree with you on all of the above. This was such a fun trip, but more than that, it was an opportunity to meet some pretty wonderful folks. Thank you and Christina for being our car-pool buddies. We plan to be at the fifth and final (?) Gathering and what fun it will be to see all of the veterans as well as having new newbies there. Take care, big guy.

: Hello all! Finally back at my computer, and I just wanted to take time to say MY thank you's!
: I had a fabulous time at the Gathering and it was great because of all of you! You are a fun, outgoing and welcoming group of people with whom I have had the true priviledge to have shared this time! I cannot express to you how grateful I am for this experience.
: Rich and Elaine-You two have done so much to keep the passion of this movie and it's meaning to others alive and I know you have heard it many times before, but as a "newbie" it is important for you to know that all your hard work and dedication mean alot to me. I was able to see places and walk trails I had wanted to for nine years now AND I was able to share that experience with others, which made it so perfect! Muchas Gracias!
: MMMMarcia and Miss Katie-you two kids! I felt so comfortable coming to this Gathering and that feeling was due in no small part to the both of ya! You made me feel VERY welcome! It was clear from the start how much the Gathering meant to you and it was clear you were excited to have new people to welcome to it! AND-you are two of THE BEST people to share a long drive with! I didn't even have to give ya money! I enjoyed the trip and hope to repeat the experience at our next Gathering! Love ya both!
: Ann Colby-What a great Pot-Luck and Horseback ride! You done good! That day was truly fun and enjoyable and so I say THANK YOU for all the work you did to make it happen!
: Christina the Red Haired Wenchie-I had a blast! Thanks for being a fun and patient chauffer to old Grapeshot! I enjoyed spending traveling time with ya! And thanks for getting a picture of Magua and me! I know you had as much fun as I did-are ya ready to move to N.C. now or what?
: Diana-Gotta say thanks to you for being such a great guide as we walked the Cliff Trail! That was the place I most wanted to visit and you helped "show me the way" on a fun walk! And all your hard work on the flags was much apprciated and well done!
: Hey Sweetsers, just in case it wasn't clear-I had a blast! You four crazy's were the icing on the cake! I enjoyed meeting each of you and look forward to spending time with you at the next Gathering, as well as chatting on the board. And try to be a little more outgoing next time-sheeeeesh!
: I was also glad that I was able to at least spend a short time chatting with everyone else. Ros, Ellen, John S., Eric and Sharon, Ilse, Adele, Patrick, Clabert, Claude and Theresa, Emily, Bill, and all the rest! (Can't think of all the names now but you know who you are!)
: Let's do it again real soon!
