2009 AGEHR Nat'l Seminar: Tuesday

So today was a good day. :-)

After meeeing up with Laquetta at the airport, we sat for an hour while we waited for Sharon's plane to arrive, then all 3 of us took a Town Car to the hotel.

I checked in & unpacked - I'll be here for 6 days, so I might as well make it as easy as possible to find stuff.

I went downstairs to register for the conference & met up withall kinds of old friends! I saw even more people over dinner! Here's who I saw:

Linda Krantz from SoCal
Patrick Gagnon & Griff Gall from the Back Bay Ringers in Boston
Jennifer Cauhorn, AGEHR Executive Director
Katie Schlegel, AGEHR Membership Director
Ardy McCloy from Cleveland - who I have not seen since she took me & Brian out to lunch a couple of days before we moved to California back in 2002!
Rima Greer of Campanile
Doug Benton from Gold Canyon, AZ
Stevie Wiltse from Grand Rapids
Sondra & Roger Tucker
Barb Farnsworth
Kathryn & Alan Hughes from London - owners of the Whitechapel bell foundry
Sandra Winter - also from London
Linda Maloney
Sharon Sparlin
Carol Lynn Mazell
Arnold & Judy Sherman
Kathy Ebling-Thorne
Michael Glasgow from Raleigh, NC
Nancy & Lew Schmitt from Redding, CA
Diane Barnes
Ellie Hodder

.. and I'm sure I'm forgetting some people. If you're one of them, I'm sorry. I loved seeing you again, but am completely overwhelmed!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I don't have anything scheduled until the noon Handbell-L poolside get together.

ah, sleep....
