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 ...

Hi Donna... Nope.... he never had the therapy... When Eric went there last April for check up... the nurse asked Eric how long he was in therapy... Eric said.. I never had one.. the nurse looked puzzled and asked the doctor.. the doctor said.. he doesnt need it...
Glad he s feeling great... and "back to normal with some limitation"
Thanks to everyone for your prayers, and support
Sharon

To our friends,
We wish that we were able to join you all this year, but alas, it just isn't in the cards. It would have been wonderful see everyone: Rich, Kate, Donna, Diana, Eric, Sharon, The Sweetsers, etc. (argh! too many to name and I apologize for those I haven't mentioned) and to meet new friends, of course - those we haven't met in person, but know via the board. Our thoughts will be with you all! Have a safe trip, a safe Gathering, a wonderful experience, and make memories of a lifetime for all of us! We hope to see plenty of photos! 
as always, 
caitlin, jeff and the little critters

Hey Ya'uns, Yep its me and I am having a hard time understanding how to get thru this message board. haha. I hope all of you are doing great. I see a lot of new names that I have to put faces with. I am looking forward to meeting them. Due to my class scheduling, Sharon and I will not be at all events, however, we will be at as many as possible. As Sharon may have already told you, I am back in the saddle again. I am doing all that the Dr. told me not to do. And loving it I might add. I think the Dr. is funny. Thinking he can stop me. HA!! I do get sore from time to time and I think the drugs did me in a bit. I cant remember as well I use to. Sharon says thats a man thing and I had that problem all along. But I notice it more now. I still have problem tying my shoes or getting up out of the floor. But once I am up, look out!! I am looking forward to see all of you. Two weeks. WOW that's a phrase that us carpenters use when estimating how long a job will take. haha. Oh BTW Sharon and I will most likely be on the bike. Gas prices you know. Yes girls I'll take you for a ride.... Ya'll take care gettin here. and we see ya'uns then. ILY is 143 Kate. I think that was what you were gettin at, Right?
See ya'uns

'Lo Sharon - Glad to hear that Eric is "running" about... Well at least with style and on a motorcycle to boot. 
Following Karen's lead (great idea BTW), I too will bring a copy of Russell Mean's book for him to sign.
Been busy recently but look forward to seeing everybody again. |

 Hellooo Ros, Nice to hear from you. You say Russel and Pearl are
looking forward to coming. I wonder if they'll do any trips with us?
Or just the movie and the raffle? It would be cool if they did...
Either way, I'm looking forward to it.
 And hellooo to Sharon! Great to hear from you too! I'm glad you and Eric will be coming. No stunt fights this year? I wonder if you'll be doing your fancy moves in the rapids at the river? Sounds like Eric is getting back to normal. He must have worked hard at his therapy.
I have a girlfriend that just had back surgery. I see how hard it is to recover. Takes a long time to heal.
I hope you two take it easy so you'll make it to the gathering for sure.
See you soon!

Hey Ros,
Nicole might come to Asheville for a day, so I will let her know when you will be there. You know how fond she is of you and has always remembered how nice you were to her in Tahlequah. I can't wait to see you again too!!!

Hey Ros, what Jayne said! Who knew when I sent my book to you to have Russell sign it that I would some day have the chance to meet him my own self? Maybe I'll just bring it and ask him to sign it again!
Sharon, it's so good to hear from you and hear that you and Eric are doing well. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone again.
Kate, due to bum knees, I may be joining you all at the pool to heft a few margaritas. Nothing wrong with my arms either!
Can't believe that it won't be long now.

I am sorry for not keeping you all posted..
Eric s continuing to improve... Getting off medications was a struggle for him.. but he made it.. 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 |

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,

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!!!

I'll consider that. |

So... *sigh*... better put me down for walking and rafting...*sigh*...
After all, it's been A COUPLE O' YEARS since I used my 'Misty Mate' and 'Glammy Shammy'!!!! They were THE MOST WONDERFUL gifts ffrom my SWEET friend, Di - I have to justify her generousity, don't I?????!!!! OKAY - NOW I MEAN B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S!!!!!!! *digging out 'trekking' boots*
Hey, if Cora can do it, *I* can do it!!! Harrrummmph!!

Oh yeah ... YOU were the "somebody else"!
You think you can lift those Daquiris????? Don't work TOO hard! |
| Kate |
Posted - May 30 2004 : 09:15:49 AM
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!!!

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. |

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

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 |
