You forgot to mention Steve Gaghagen (68) and his moving rendition of Impossible Dream.

I had the privilege of being on the executive committee, and working this event from the very beginning. From the start, I made new friends(Lynne Bretz, Gayle Shaffer, Janice Helmer, Rees Clark, Gene and Mary Eggers, Eric Bauer, Melinda Manning, Chuck Shaw, Donna Galt, Marilyn Woodruff, Duffy Brooks, just to name a few) and reconnecting with old friends(Linda Payne, Roger Lockie, Bob Sanderson, Robyn & Monique Sharp, Bob Garlinghouse, Dennis Reynolds, Jerry Jambazian, Mark Slater, and the list goes on.). We, on the committee hoped it would be a smashing success. You plan and you work, and you hope it doesnít rain! What we achieved, and I hope others feel the same, was a weekend of memories and experiences that we will carry with us the rest of our lives. This event is something that I feel incredibly proud of. Thanks to all of you who e-mailed me or introduced yourselves and said thanks for all your hard work. Hearing that was very special to those of us on the committee. Last, a huge thanks and lots of love to my very special friend Linda Payne. It was she who asked me to join this labor of love. Hey Linda, what is our next project?! :-)
