Dear Rich & Elaine and MMMMarcia:
I want to tell you what a pleasure it was to meet you at the gathering. I also want to thank you for all of your hard work organizing this wonderful event. Ann and I had a fabulous time. Even though we were expecting to have a lot of fun after reading about last year's gathering, it managed to exceed our already high expectations. This was do in large part to meeting all of the happy and friendly Mohicanites, and Eric Schweig�s :o)~~~~ (Oops. Sorry about the drooling.) beautiful Babes Ayesha and her husband Collin, Cherri and her husband Don, and Penny and her mother Alma. It�s great to be able to put a face to the name. I miss all of you already.
Of course it didn't hurt meeting Eric Schweig either. :o)~~~~~ I want to thank Eric :o)~~~~~ for taking time from his busy schedule to stop by the gathering and making my dreams come dream, and for allowing his Adoption Mask to be raffled. Congratulations to Adrienne, the very fortunate and lucky winner of this striking work of art. Thanks also to Rich & Elaine for arranging Eric�s :o)~~~~~ appearance at the gathering, and for donating the photo of Eric :o)~~~~~~ that I won and had autographed by Eric :o)~~~~~~~. Swoon!
Thanks to Eric Hurley for his fun insights into the making of LOTM. And if all of this wasn�t enough, there was the breath-taking scenery, the great hikes through the woods and up the mountains (thanks for the draft Caitlin) and seeing Eric :o)~~~~ �.er�um�. the movie for the first time on the big screen.
It's definitely an event that will go in my memory book and something that I can look back on with fond and joyous memories. Every time I think about Eric :o)~~~~ �I mean the gathering, it brings a huge smile to my face -- other people must think I'm crazy smiling to myself -- but what the heck, if they had been at the gathering, they would be smiling too.
Hmmmm! Gathering 2000! Let me mark that on my calendar.
Did I mention what a thrill it was for me to meet Eric? :o)~~~~~~
Best wishes,
Sandy
