Any time Michael.. I'm not sure how you, Nina, Debbie and all of you who put
this thing up thought it went.. but I for one thought it was a win win...
And I am sure the next one will be even larger.. I think everybody had a
great time and they will go on to tell the tales and those who couldn't make
it this time will be there next time..

 

PS. Watching those old videos of Ragne.. makes me wish I could have met
him.. I think we would have gotten along magnificantly, not only do we share
the same birthday but from what I saw we share the same sense of humor. BUt
even not having met him.. I know a bit more about him from the people I met
and the video fotage I saw.
