After getting the feedback, and knowning that a few won't be able to make it otherwise, the event is STILL ON. This event is WAY more than just me- you guys need to set your sights a little higher if THAT was your expectation ;-) I didn't spend 5 minutes with any one person last year anyway & there were several I didn't meet at all! Bottom line is, I really don't think I need to be there for this thing to still come off well so; have fun, play nice, mind CaJohn & Cameron, make sure Rael doesn't get locked up, give my regrets to those who don't know anything about why I'm not there, take pictures, raise a glass to Mr. Flynn, & I'll read all about it later :-) Headed to lurk mode for a couple of weeks. Thanks again all. -Jim C Mild to Wild Lieutenant, Engine 113 Local 416, Indianapolis
