Change in Charlotte show gathering

[cskipper]

Due to hpetty's father's illness, he will not be able to have us over for a gathering after the Charlotte show. Let's keep Hugh, his dad and the rest of his family in our prayers.

I am sorry to hear that. Not so much the change of plans for the after show gathering, because I won't be able to go, but more for Hugh's father. I hope everything turns out alright and life returns to normal.

My best wishes!!!!!

Very sorry to hear about Hugh's father's illness and hope it is just a temporary situation. We wish him well.

We'll still get a chance to meet at the Show and maybe one of the other Charlotte guys will volunteer to host an "after-show" get-together.

Reguardless we can all get together and hang out. It will be good to see and meet everyone.

Hugh, I hope your father is doing better soon. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

The 1:30ish lunch gathering is still a go for Sat. in Charlotte.

Did we decide on a way to recognize members as we wander around the show?

 

[stoneskippers]

Cskipper wants to know how to recognize the people in our group. Easy, look for the one walking around with the glazed over far away look in their eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!

John,

Isn't that going to pretty much describe everyone attending the show? That won't be helping. I plan to attend, yay!

Maybe everyone can wear something simple that will be easy to recgonize yet still allow them to blend into the crowd.

Like this maybe!

Gosh, would you have time to get us all one before Saturday? :lol:

 

[hpetty]

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. My Dad is in Neuro ICU at CMC and right now on a ventilator. They are trying to wean him off that, but it's kind of slow going. At 86 your body doesn't bounce back as quickly as we would like. He had been admitted for bleeding into his brain as a result of a fall. They put in a drain and pretty well fixed that, but then he developed breathing problems. It looks like the recovery is going to be a very slow process.

I might get away for a few minutes to walk around at the show so maybe I'll have a chance to meet some of you anyway... but I just didn't feel like we would be up for preparing for a lot of people to come over... maybe next year :lol:

Hugh

 

[cskipper]

That's cetainly understandable. Let us know if we can do anything to help.
(in addition to including ya'll in our prayers)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for you father, Hugh. The change in plans is certainly understandable under the circumstances. Your family will be in my prayers.

DL, you best get sewing if you're going to make us all flamingo hats...
So where is everyone meeting at 1:30? Sorry, been trying to follow but not doing a great job...

Hugh,

Hope everything works out ok with your father.

At the concession area

 

[SteveColes]

Maybe we could all meet for dinner at a resturant close to the show?

 

[cskipper]

That would be great - any idea as to where? time?

Might need to be inexpensive - we'll all probably be broke by then :lol:

 

[McRabbet]

Maybe JohnsonMBrandon or wsd1089 can make a recommendation. I'd ask my nephew BGlover for suggestions, but he is away on travel out west and will return on the red-eye Friday morning so we can go to the show on Saturday. I'll send him an e-mail and perhaps he can make a suggestion. Depending on his plans, I'd be up for a group dinner, too.
