Hey Gang, I would just like to say that the 3 of us had the time of our life down there and we enjoyed meeting everyone. Never have I felt so touched by something as I did this apostafest. It was so hard for us to leave Texas on sunday morning. Everyone was so nice and understanding. I would like to thank all of the local people who helped organize this event, especially Valis, Big Tex and Cruzanheart, and all the rest. I can only mention a few notable people from the event as I have a limited time here at this computer terminal. I would first like to Thank Country Girl for it was her who mentioned to me this event when we were in Nashville for the Silent Lambs, and she encouraged me to come. I would like to say I was very pleased to finally meet up with Bryan and his wife and to thank them for the dinner they treated us to in Ft. Worth they are such nice people and hope they can come and visit with us up here. Wildfire (Brenda) is such a hoot and was the life of the party, I will miss hearing her talk and her cheerful demeanor, she is such an upbeat and fun person. I really enjoyed my lengthy conversation with moreisbetter and could have talked for 24 hours straight with her. I enjoyed listening to wild turkey and Littletoes experiences as elders.I enjoyed talking with shutterbug at the pool and discussing our medical problems. I know there are more, but maybe in the next few days I can post more here about Dallas. I am missing Texas something fierce and if I was financially able to, I would probably move down there. I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone from the apostafest and this board to come and visit with us here in Tennessee and we can show you all the sights around here, we have a spare bedroom and would love to have visitors. Once again thanks To Valis and all those in Dallas who made this a truly remarkable experience for us all
Dave
