Yes, Kendall -- discretion is often the best policy.

I'm having a slow recovery time. Worth it, though!

Thanks to all who came to the 2014 FSGW Getaway! It really is the people who make it what it is. What a terrific bunch of folks! I was particularly happy to see Max -- it's been a while!

I was struck by the number of parent/child units we had this year: Sara Grey/Kieron Means, Rose Sheehan/Colin de la Barre, Ann Muir/Christina Muir (briefly), Bill Day & Rita Ferrara/Darriel Day, Pete & Grace Kraemer/Will Kraemer, Annie Storr/Jesse Greer, Janice Cole/Eric Cole, Glenn Lehman & Alice Van Buren/Nathaniel & Bea Lehman, and -- of course -- me/Dan Schatz and HIS son Kiran Schatz. I think this means we are doing something right!

Several people have mentioned Sarah White, who absolutely electrified everybody with her beautiful voice and excellent presentation. She's about 20 years old, never been to the Getaway before, but saw the publicity for it (FSGW Newsletter?) and decided to come by herself. I sure hope we'll see more of her -- she's a real treasure.

Love you all!
Nancy
