Wow how things have changed.
Did a 6 page read here to get caught up.'
Charlie: Not sure when the last time was that you touched base with Dusty, but he has had a tuff time that I know of in the last 5 months. I sure hope my buddy is up for a visit. I have a PM to him with no answer. If you do see, talk, communicate in any way with him please tell him Hey for me and thanks for his service to our country, and I love and miss him.
Looked like at first...there may have been a boat gathering for this years boat show...but that washed out.
Looks like 10 folks are signed up on the signup.. but all may be staying elsewhere.
No idea how many folks are going to the Pub, that has been fun in the past but is about 35 miles from seattle...a bit of a drive after dark and maybe a beer at my age.
Sorry I am missing this gig....and have to remember the times we have had in years past in hotel south of seattle, with big room for us to gather in, bring our pot luck (I sure enjoyed the local dishes) and a few late nights if I recall. One of the last ones was the last trip I was able to take my Mom on and she damn sure had a blast at the hotel, on the Argosy cruise...and our time afterwards up in Stanwood.
Cheers to all who are going to be there this year.
