Northern Clan Gathering was great

[Lukiedukie]

I just wanted to thank all of you who made feel at home and not a fish out of water. It was a fun night and I do hope to see every one soon. Maybe next time we will be all wet???? Thank you again to all sorry I had to leave early but this paper is looming over my head. I hope every one had as much fun as I did and a every one has a safe trip home. Debra took lots of pictures so everyone who did not get to go can see what they missed.


Thank you all I would like to name names but there where so many people that I would never be able to name every one. So once last time THANK YOU ALL.!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great bunch of people you TSD gang are!!!!! Well except for the lake rat that told the waitress that I had recently had a birthday---lol (just kinding,,,payback time will come..hehe). I was so embaressed...... I have no 'moves'....but "Sam" asked me my age and I told her 30,, she says 'OK' with a look like, 'yea' old man your every bit 50 (which I was)! Jim came by and made me feel better,,,,he said "we were not laughing with with Alan but at you"....thanks Jim!! Outside of that 5 minutes,,,,it was a super evening,,,and so glad to get to meet so many of you guys/gals. Debra I think you need to delete all the above pictures of me. A thanks to Sealskin/Mike for the idea of doing to dinner and to ScubaTexan/Ken for making the arrng.. Lets get together for some diving this year and do a dinner/picnic again............ thanks all for a fun evening. Alan

Really good try TwoBit. Picture 3 you identify Frank correctly, he is Timeliner. Picture 5 then is not Timeliner, it's me (KevReid) and my wife (Pat) with Truckdriver (Kevin), SMonster (Sheila) and Lukidukie. The unidentified guy in picture 4 is Jeff, not a board member but came at my invite to meet the Swampers.

Pat and I had a great time, really enjoyed visiting and meeting most of the gang. Thank you Ken for putting it together! Dee, Parrotheaddiver and hubby, thanks for making the trip,it was great to see you. CCV here we come!

Debraw, thanks for the party favor!!!!

 

[parrotheaddiver]

This is Dee.....I'm still at Parrotheaddivers house. Too much driving to head back to Houston today!

I had a GREAT time! Meeting all the old Swamper again and finally putting faces to you new guys....Fantastic! I'll post the photos I took when I get home tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who came! We had one of our largest turnouts ever, if not THE largest. I think we had 30 in total. I totally agree with TwoBit about the service -- Sam and Michelle were fabulous! Sam told me later that she had been there since 9:30 that morning and wasn't really looking forward to having to work late, but we made it a lot more fun. She said we're welcome to come back any time and she would love to work our party again, and Michelle said the same thing. We'll try to do another one of some sort before Dee and the group leave for CCV. Hope to see everyone there! Thanks to Alan for bringing the nametags, and to Debra for bringing the clips.

YOU GUYS ROCK!! :dazzler1:
