Texirish:

I miss seeing old friends but applaud that we can now follow the meeting via the internet. And even review old ones. But the people you get to meet and know at the meeting can be as valuable and enjoyable as the Q&A in my experience.

I don't know if you remember (and my memory of the details is fuzzy now), but I'm pretty sure you drove me, JBenvent and one other person to either the event at the mall (where Borsheims is) or to one of the other hotels where WEB was appearing. It was a surreal weekend for me. Amongst other things:

* I met John Gartman.

* I met WEB as he was walking around that hotel and somehow ended up at the hotel bar with Peter Buffett and the "wallet guy."

* The coolest thing by far about that weekend was at the AOL group's pre-meeting party, I sat in a booth with former NASA engineer John Houbolt when he told us all about his involvement with the Apollo program. If you've never heard of John, read this book (it's fantastic): a.co: John Houbolt: The Unsung Hero of the Apollo Moon Landings (Purdue Studies in Aeronautics and Astronautics): Causey, William F.: 9781612496573: Amazon.com: Books

Learned a lot that weekend.

Wheezy
