To All who attended Annapolis and all 56TA Thread members:
I just arrived back home from Annapolis ( earlier than I had planned,it seems that my medication got gone, and I had to make a mad dash home :-) and had to get on and tell my experience at this fantastic meeting. As usual when you try to say things like this , you will always leave someone out . In advance , I apologize if I miss someone.
First of all , Doug. Thank you for all you have done for this group !! I am amazed at your knowledge of TA and your ease of teaching someone of my intelligence :-) I know all who attended feel as grateful as I do . What a great inspiration you are!!!
Instock and Sergio , thank you for all your efforts and the contributions to the DIS Team. Instock, thanks for being so friendly and helpful. Sergio, I really enjoyed meeting and having dinner with you and your wife.
Radar , I really appreciate all your effort and hard work in putting this meeting together. It may be called the DIS team but it also includes Radar. I really look forward to you coming to Knoxville to visit your parents and hopefully Martha Ann and myself.
I can't fully explain my feelings for all that I had the pleasure of meeting and making friends with. This was like walking into a family reunion !!!! What a wonderful group of people we have in this group. There were no strangers !! It was as if everybody had known each other for years.
Running the risk of leaving someone out --- here goes !!! Martha Ann and I met Sergio and his wife as soon as we walked in. Then we met Radar , Instock , Peg and John . Then Myron , Al ( Father Al :-) , Bobble Unc and his wife , and Russ. Had dinner with Tom and Louis .
We got a good sample of Joannies sauces. Remember , Joannie , let me know when the IPO is coming out. :-) Met Watcher very soon after coming in, and thanks watcher for being so friendly. Was able to chat with Ben , Gary , Michael , and Russ.
Shared several cigarettes with Peg and John and a few drinks :-) Had the pleasure in meeting Carolyn and Carol. These are two smart gals :-) I missed David's Beach TA , doggonit !!!!!!!
It was such a pleasure and an honor to be at this meeting. If anyone reading this has a chance to attend one of Doug's meeting -- GO -- If you have to sell a stock or mortgage a house -- GO :-)
