So, what is a Mohican Gathering?
Many things - here are some comments from folks who've been there!
... suffice it to say we had a wonderful, life-altering time at this Gathering! Everyone was just as friendly and interesting as I knew they would be, and I cannot WAIT to begin working on next year's event ... Marcia - 1998
... What a treat to be able to put faces with the posts now. Rich, I can't believe you told Elaine she had to behave herself at the gathering ... especially when it became obvious none of the rest of us were! Shame on you!! Isn't it amazing to think that 38 (or thereabouts) of us could get together and get along so well, even though none of us had ever met before (excluding Jo and her sisters). Not a nut case in the bunch (at least not out of the norm for the group). Rich, Elaine, Marcia, Myrrh, Eric, Susan all did a wonderful job in putting the weekend together for us. Thank you so much. It was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. For those of you who missed this year's celebration, start saving money and making your plans now. It was well worth any trouble any of us took to make it there ... Chris - 1998
I cannot believe I will not wake up at 6am to see 12 other smiling, happy, enthusiastic faces, all desperate to get back on those trails, tomorrow morning!! :0(
But - what a weekend! What magnificent scenery, what exciting famous film locations to discover, what great people we met, but best of all, what wonderful friends we made!! 56(?) people getting together, having fun and accepting, nay, laughing and totally enjoying each other's funny little ways! All I can say is - I'm sure going to miss the gentle snores of my ex-roomies (you know who you are - Miss EEEM), situations being summed up in Mohican "quotes" and I'll sure miss being able to discuss our favourite movie with other people who do not view me as 'a breed apart'!!
So - who do we thank for all this? Rich and Elaine, that's who!! So, thanks, thanks, thanks!!!! And to Marcia, Ilse, Jo and Sarah and a big THANK YOU to our own very precious SOLDIER #2!!!! WHAT A TEAM!!
So, now we start to save up for next year's Millennium event!! (Don't we Rich?!?!)
My thanks to everyone at the "Great Mohican Gathering 1999" - every one of you made my holiday very special in some way! Truly, this Gathering was more stirring to the blood than any imagining could possibly have been!! Oh yes!! WHAT AN ADVENTCHA!!!!!
Take care everyone, here on the board.
Best wishes ... Kate - 1999
I am back home, and already looking forward to the next chance of meeting you all. I had a wonderful time at the gathering, rekindling old friendships and bonding with new people. How sad it seems to be apart so far right now, but I know we can leave all those boundaries behind and meet whenever we want, in Mohicanland, and feel that togetherness again. One of the most beautiful things to come out of this website has been just that: a place where all distances and boundaries fall away and people come together.
I want to thank everybody being at the gathering, for just being you and adding your special flavour to it. I want to thank everybody on the board, who could not come but thought about the gathering, for being friends to meet up personal in the future...
Seneca once said: "The blessing is not in living, but in living well." I like to think that we are that.
Thanks to everybody, making it happen, no matter how far, no matter how long ... Love, Ilse - 1999
... this group is very special. I mean, of all the reenactors we know, from all the different lists and all the different clubs, one is lucky to run into a few, at an event. But at OUR event, the whole family came together. What more could anyone ask for? ... Clabert - 2000
... [The Gathering] was probably the best-organized field conference I have been on, and as a geologist, I have been on many. I found the undercurrent
