Moving the 2004 Gathering Attendee List to its own thread; the better to find it by ... from http://www.mohicanpress.com/messageboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1168#11162 to here ---
But, first ...
So, today we had our first cancellation. I was bummed, and started feeling Deja Vu all over again, in the immortal words of Yogi Berra.
The roller coaster ride continues. Why shouldn't it? It's been like that from the very beginning.
At the moment, and at the risk of sounding a bit like a manic/depressive, I am on a high of highs. I remember speculating, at the 2002 Gathering, of what it might be like to have the Stanglers and the Sweetsers together at the same Gathering. We're about to find out, and for that, I am very, very, grateful! Yiiii-hiiii!!! Anyway ...
The List
Last Update: 05/26/04
Carter Ard - 1st Ann Colby - 4th Kay Dennis, Pat Danielson - canceled, Phyllis Nelson , Cindy Rodgers & K. Stout - 1st Donna Deslauriers - 6th Pat Dietch - 2nd Rich Federici - 6th
April Ferguson - canceled Mary Garland & Rob Kruys - 3rd - Stan & Teri Golden - 4th Mary Graybill - 1st Ros Haddon - 4th Marc & Cherie Harbison - 3rd John Harkins - 5th Del Hiestand & son - 1st Jenifer Huey - 3rd Eric & Sharon Hurley - 6th Christina Knauss - 2nd Vincent Kong & Debbie Ho - 4th Art & Halina Long - 1st - Stephanie McCulloch - 4th Nancy Michaelsen - 2nd Don & Jayne [Langan] Miller - 4th Dennis, Eileen, Scott & Rachel Morgan - 2nd - Kate Penman - 4th Patrick Quinn - 3rd Cecelia Scott - 4th Ariel Segal - 2nd Diana Strickland - 5th Phil & Karen Stangler - 2nd
Joe & Belinda Starnes - 2nd - canceled Kathie, Mary, Karen & Jo Sweetser collectively, The Sweetser 4! - 5th Mark, Kathy, Nathan, & David Whitney - 4th Diane Williams - 1st Fitz & Cindy Williams - 2nd Michael Williams and Andres, An-Mei, Kristen & Thomas Kessler -1st Theresa & Claude - canceled - Williams - 3rd Karen Williamson - 4th - canceled - uncanceled! Dale Wasson - 2nd Patrick & Tristan Wilson - 1st - Mark & Sarah Zentner - 4th
Current Total: 66 [though I expect this number to shrink - many not paid as of this date!]
Not included in above total, but confirmed attendance:
- Tim & Diane Cordell, plus traveling buddy, Randy Roberts, last 3 days only [Cherokee, Dupont/movie, Games]
- Joanne Shenandoah, Tuesday only [Spirits on the River]
- Russell & Pearl Means, tail end of the festivities [Movie Theater is fer sure]

OH
MY
GOODNESS
It is a dang good thing I didn't read this at work. My near-workers would have thought I had won the lottery the way I whooped when I read THE SWEETSERS were coming. That is just the best news - talk about a high point in the gathering journey!!!! I won't have seen them chickens in 3 YEARS....AND I'VE MISSED 'EM!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jo, I reckon that means we have an opening in the West apartment??? , but that's Okey Dokey if your branging those sisters of yours. I had resigned myself to never experiencing the Sweetsers 4 in MohicanLand again. What A TREAT! This is better'n Christmas mornin'!!!!
P.S. April, I am sorry to hear we won't get to meet you. You can always change your mind! Plenty of time!

WELLLLLLL, finally, I find this post! Thank you for all of your kind words about our "collective" arrival! Will try to live up to our "reputation" but beware, maybe we'll be QUIET this time!!! I've missed going and for once, I'm glad WE're back.... We're looking forward to it; hope everyone else is!!!
Jo and her very nice, docile, quiet, demur (I wish I could spell) sisters! The Sherman march to the sea is counting down...Ashville airport beware.

Wow the list looks really big! I am sad to have to miss out on my first gathering but I suppose I can keep my hopes up that next year there will be another gathering so I can experience my first. I hope everyone has a wonderful time and enjoys their time there. |

Thanks Rich, I wanted to sign up a looong time ago. But this has been an unpredictable year. I still have to make sure my Kitty Sitter is available to take care of Fluffy... :')
And to Rachel, Yes, it's too bad you can't make it this year. I swear you would have had one of the most fun weeks ever. I can't wait!

Three weeks from right now we'll be assembling at Chimney Rock Park! THREE WEEKS! Here's hoping the weather is better. A most dreary morning right now.
Don't think Russell's coming? Russell Means' Upcoming Appearances
Down to basics ... here's who is coming - definitely - and when they'll be here. If you spot an error, please do let me know!
Paid Gatherers as of May 30, 2004 June 11, 2004
Carter Ard - Sunday & Monday [I think!] Ann Colby - All week, but skipping Biltmore to make arrangements for the Shenandoah concert that night Kay Dennis - All week, skipping Nolichucky Donna Deslauriers - All week Pat Dietch - All week, skipping Nolichucky Rich Federici - All week [I hope! ] Stan & Teri Golden - All week, skipping Biltmore/Spirits
Mary Graybill - Tuesday - Saturday - canceled Ros Haddon - Thursday - Saturday Marc & Cherie Harbison - All week, skipping Spirits John Harkins - All week Del & Del Jr. Heistand - Saturday - Friday, skipping Nolichucky & Cherokee Jenifer Huey - Sunday only Christina Knauss - All week Vincent Kong & Debbie Ho - Sunday - Friday, skipping Spirits Don & Jayne Miller - All week, skipping Biltmore Stephanie McCulloch - All week, skipping Biltmore Nancy Michaelson - All week Phyllis Nelson - Monday - Saturday, skipping Spirits & Nolichucky Kate Penman - All week Patrick Quinn - All week Cindy Rodgers - All week, skipping Nolichucky Cecelia Scott - Wednesday - Saturday Ariel Segal - Sunday - Thursday Phil & Karen Stangler - All week, skipping Nolichucky Kim Stout - Monday - Thursday, skipping Spirits & Nolichucky Diana Strickland - Wednesday - Saturday Karen, Kathie, Mary, & Jo Sweetser - All week, skipping Nolichucky Dale Jr., Dale Sr., & Elizabeth Wasson and Erik Halthen - Sunday, Friday, and Saturday Mark, Kathy, Nathan, & David Whitney - All week, skipping Biltmore Diane Williams - Tuesday only Fitz & Cindy Williams - Tuesday night, Friday & Saturday Michael Williams, Kristen, Andres, An-Mei, & Thomas Kessler - Wednesday - Saturday Theresa Williams - All week Karen Williamson - All week, skipping Biltmore Mark & Sarah Zentner - Sunday - Friday, skipping Spirits & Cherokee
Man, a veritable Williams Clan here ... The Williams Chronicles anyone? So, that's who is currently paid - 53 52 56 total, I think.
Plus, we can add:
Tim & Dianne Cordell [and another person, I think?] - Thursday - Saturday Eric & Sharon Hurley - Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday Russell & Pearl Means - Thursday - Saturday
That, if correct, ups us to 60 59 63.
I have no idea who among all these folks will be at The Elk Hunt [Sunday afternoon], do all of Linville Gorge, including the Sunrise [Monday - all day], and Dupont Forest [Friday] as these are all free & there was no need to reserve a space. Above info covers the paid events only.
Any of you who would like to belatedly sign-up for an event you had previously planned to skip, please do so ASAP!! Even have a few [very few] Joanne Shenandoah tickets set aside at the moment, just in case.
Of course, by now, you've all sent your Spirits on the River dinner choices on to pop_profile |

Rich...Nolichucky is "iffy" for me. Got to talk to the doctor about my shoulder. If he recommends I not do it, my space is for sale. Should know something in a week or so. |

Like I told someone else, you can always just hitch a ride in a raft and not do any paddling. The water levels should be way up this year - in comparison to 2002. Don't think Ducks will be necessary! Think about that. I'll paddle overtime for you! |

Well Rich,
You know, because of my recent surgery, I might not manage to do the Nolichucky... And, of course, all that trekking in my 'weakened state' could do lots of damage, which puts the climb up to Table Rock, the Death March and Linville Gorge out the window. OH - and the CRP hike... what that could do to newly joined - and atrophied muscles is unbelieveable!!! I'm not sure that my Consultant and P.S will be happy for me to undertake these various activities!! In fact, I'm SURE they'd be ABSOLUTELY AGIN' THEM ALL!!!!!!!!
Oh, well... *sigh*... it looks more and more as if I'm destined to sit by the Geneva pool and sip Daquiri's with little umbrella's... *sigh*...
MAAAANNNN, 'GATHERINGS' ARE HARD WORK!!!

Well, Kate, m'friend, since I'm signed up for everything ALONG WITH you I will do my best to help you through all the trekking and rafting and marching I personally can handle!!! My only physical consideration is a game left ankle left over a bad sprain last fall, but so far it's been holding up okay. I'll have ace bandages and etc. along in case it starts going South...but rest assured SHOULD it give me any problems and SHOULD ye have need of leaving off some of the activities, I'll be right there hoisting liquid refreshments with ye! After all, there's NOTHING wrong with either of my arms...
can't wait to see any and all of you regardless of physical condition!!!

Can't believe it is just a few weeks away. Can't wait to see you all again. Russell and Pearl are excited about coming too. We'll be at Sun Dance in South Dakota right before we head to the Mohican Hills, so speaking for myself, I will be very mellow (if you believe that, well.......) See ya soon, Ros |

The doctor said Eric s his poster child.. using Eric as an example to other patients. Erics now driving motorcycle, and all the crazy stuff! We will see you Sunday half day (Breakfast), Monday all day, Wednesday for whitewater rafting, and all day Friday..
See u all then |
