Ditto. He's a pretty cool guy....

He had some business to take care of early Monday, I guess that's why he flew out.

"I need to add that while Fintstone did show up (and spend 5 hours there!) he did not want a photo of his face taken due to his work with the military."

Interesting. So Fintstone is afraid to post his photo so his identity and his words could be linked. Just curious what are you fearful of?

Come to the next one and find out.

Many people working with the military or govt do not want nor need their photograph or personal information being posted around the internet.

He was going to spend "an hour or so" with us on Friday. Ended up staying until we closed the joint up, then another 2 hours talking with Randy.

Saturday he made it to the buffet with us, then stayed a lot longer than I did.

No mystery to him, just a private guy at times. If you think that thats not right, then try, please try, to find out H.G.P. real name and where he lives. Now there's someone who really guards his privacy!

Your name came up many times and wish you could have re-scheduled things so you could have come.

As well there were various "working gals" there mumbling about needing some "lube" and am sure you could have helped them... :)

What we really need is for Kim and Keri (CC) to get the time to post their photos. As well both of them have a copy of their "kiss" that was sent to them by the photographer that we would love to see. Its a lot clearer and in better focus I am told! :)

What an amazing group of well traveled, educated, interesting and knowledgeable people. I am richer from the experience. I know that both Margarita and I look forward to the next meeting, and also the next time we can get together with any of that group.

if one makes the effort to show up, one finds out the details.

fintstone is A-1 in my book, even though his politics are whack :p

The biggest part of life is showing up.

I agree, and it was a pleasure meeting you and Margarita as well.

The best to both of you.

Randy.

It was great to finally meet you as well, Todd. Hopefully next time you'll do a few more days.

Agree as well but then with our Pelican meetings here in Phoenix and my meeting other Pelicans around the world, I still have not found one that I did not like or could not work with.

Had a very good time with everyone and cannot wait for the next meeting. It was funny the way we all just fell in together and became friends so fast. Good group of people...

Todd, thanks to you and Kim for taking time out of your schedule and making the trip over from LA. Know it was rough with your schedule but meeting the two of you was very nice.
