Ron et al,
I think it would be much more appropriate for folks to just be thanking you
and Chris (and even a few others) for your efforts, and be pleased for you
for any benefit you might have received from the event, because it sure
looks like those that were able to attend got a great time out of it.
I hope that you might try to make it an annual October thing,(or fest), and
extend it out to at least two nights and lots of advanced notice so some us
that are more than at stones throw from southeastern PA might be able to
plan for it and get there.
I thank you all for the vicarious enjoyment that I have had from your good
times. And everyone's pictures. I look forward to being there next year. And
if anybody is worried about anybody getting something out of sponsoring it,
get over it! or jump in and help.
