Well, Jay, I sure wish that you'd given out a cell phone number. Brothers
Ed, Dave and I walked (actually, Dave drove his electric wheelchair) over
from the other side of Aeroshell Square to come to the party.
Augh! Man, that sucks. Sorry, Bob.
I was only able to leave my cell phone on in dribs and drabs, cuz the
battery wouldn't last the week. (Although, in one of the strangest things
ever, I *did* receive a phone call from Jer/ Eberhard, while I was sitting
at Rwy 27, watching departures. Incredibly, Jer/ was sitting two chairs
down from me when he called -- it's a small world!)
We were lucky enough to have the most visible campsite ever, this year,
facing south on the inner loop road, right along the fence line. This site
(and our banner) was visible not only from the North 40, but also from the
exit road heading west from the Warbird area parking. With our banner
flying high each day, we had literally dozens (hundreds?) of people stop,
wave, beep, and/or share a beer with us.
It never dawned on me that we couldn't be found, dang it. Heck, we had
people waiting for us to get up, some mornings, just so they could say "hi"!
I wish it had worked out. I've got a slew of pictures from both the pool
party and the campsite party to post, as soon as I get caught up at the
office...
