Hopefully my phone will work and I can still keep in contact with the forums. Hope to see some of you all there. I know Harvey will be there because he's a fellow demonstrator. Look forward to seeing all my friends in the vendor area.

John - I'm so sorry we never got a chance to talk and catch up. All I managed to do is say hello to you. I spent the last 4 days running around doing stuff and never really had any time to talk to anyone. According to my FitBit, I walked 7 miles each day inside the convention center. I'm going to sleep for a week. Anyhow - just wanted to say I'm sorry we didn't have time to chat.

Yea we were all kind of busy. You and Steve and everyone else who worked did a fantastic job. It was a really well run symposium. Maybe I can plan a trip to Georgia to just visit. I have a Demo there Oct 1st in Loganville, and then will be back down on the 10th for my Dad's 90th birthday but will be kind of on the run both of those days.

The Georgia symposium is really fun for me because I know so many people and we get to try and catch up on what's happening. Of course it didn't hurt that I got to see Demo's by 2 people I've never seen. I met Benoit many years ago at an AAW symposium but had never seen him Demo. Seen a lot of Nick Agar's work and some videos but never got to see him. Both did wonderful jobs at their demos. They have the start kind of personalities like Jimmy Clewes to just draw the crowds in.

Of course a trip to Georgia just wouldn't be complete without saying Hi to Nick Cook and Frank Bowers. 2 of my favorite people.

There are some really wonderful places to eat in Dalton Ga that I"m just starting to discover. It's a lot bigger town than I thought.

Of course just hanging out with my local turning buddies who went is always a gas.

Harvey I second what Lyle said, you guys did a great job. Lyle, it was nice chatting with you about the north country over dinner at the banquet.
