Frank,
I would be up for the "fireside chat" that we had some years back downstairs in the hotel lobby by the fireplace. That was fun!

>>> ...Funny you should ask. 60 days until the Colour Computer CoCo Fest. Sixty days of waiting for it, and 60 days of my life spent at the Fest. 3 days times 20 years. And yet, we always manage to pack in so much, seeing old friends, finally being able to put a name to a face in a crowded room. You know how hard it to spot me in a crowd, not being the type that stands out;-]

>>> I tried to explain the experience to the lads. That I have been sharing a room with my dear friend and Brother in the Lord, Keith for longer than they have been alive. Enjoying what has become one of the most precious gifts in my life, the gift of have you all as friends. The room will be a little dimmer this year due to the passing on of some of our dear friends. And yet how much richer are our lives for them having had been a part of them.

>>> I will be returning to Wisconsin two days before driving down to the Hotel. I think that I will remember to drive on the proper side of the rode. (I've shared the story many times of my first time driving out to Crestfield manor with young Devin O'Connell. He suddenly reminded me that I was driving on the wrong side, that this was England not American. A quick maneuver got us back into the proper lane. He was shaking like a leaf, hyperventilating. I asked him if he was alright. He looked down at the front of his trousers and meekly said, "Still dry." (An expression they use a lot at the school) He did later share with some of his friends that "I damned near killed us, but if he served as navigator he could keep me safely on course."
>>>
>>> Its wonderful to note that all told I have had 67 little navigators keeping me on course this term. They may be lads ages 7-14, but they seemed to have learned a lot and they have been very eager to share it with me. Even better I have learned so much from them. I'll try to behave myself at the Fest and not go on too much about them, but I'll probably fail in that regard.
