Nashville Convention was wonderful!

As always it was wonderful. The connections people made with each other were special and the feeling we all get is indescribable. Looking in each other’s eyes and knowing the other knows our greatest fear and our worst pain is the thing we all share. It’s just hard to describe the emotion s we have. At any given moment at the gatherings you can look across the room some laughing some crying some in deep thought but all knowing. When someone was hit. You could see the unspoken words, “I am sorry you feel this pain wish it was me instead of you”. Never wanting the other to hurt as we do. The times everyone was pain free everyone was making the other laugh. We did some partying as well as learning from each other I think out of wanting to forget why we are all together. Something we can never really do, all we can do is push the thoughts way back in our minds, thoughts who is next? Wondering if we will be able to handle it? Will we be able to give the person who does get hit the room they need. I think that is the hardest thing to give people room. It is only natural to want to hold the ice talk to them and not leave them alone.
There were just to many people at this convention for me to talk about each. I am not even sure I was able to speak to everyone there. If I did not get to visit with you or someone else did not get to visit with you, know it was because of time and nothing more.
The highlight of the convention to me was after so many years meeting Svenn and Edna and Zaria two dear friends. The down part was hearing that a Special Friend of mine is gravely ill . Luciano and Zaira Please let me know how I can get in touch with my friend. Just email me if she is in the USA I want to visit her.
The Convention was great the only thing missing was the people who could not attend.
All that were not there were missed.
I would like to thank the convention committee for a Job well done!

Good seeing you again ole friend. Keep me posted about our friend. It is a lot easier to visit everyone at smaller gatherings, with almost 100 it couldn't be done in two days. I always knew you liked bald men with beards aftyer I met Buddy

You said it best E. I had a great time and even though I'm a Pita, they were all nice to me. Wonder what I did? 
I got to meet more European friends too and a surprise wedding. Sneaky bunch these kids....)
More too, lets see: Billiards grudge match, Chuck modeling for Cosmo, Svenn and Bente enjoying our 86 degree weather, Ziara & Luciano putting up with our lunacy, our closing out the bar...not a big deal; it closes at midnight, and trying to not get thrown off the porch, tons of food, tons of good stuff at and after banquet.......That Jayne is pretty funny, what a deal.
Oh yeah, we only had the best CH presentation I could imagine. Lots of hard work from all over; I'm happy to learn. Wonderful.
Great job kids. Your fellow clusterheads know how hard you worked. Thanks a ton.
Charlie

Elaine,
It was really good to meet that wonderful heart that has written me this year. You are a dear and Buddy a real good guy. It was a pleasure to be around you at times.
That little guy with the videos is a Real keeper. He taught me a thing or two about cartoons. What a great little one he is. The kid made me feel really stupid I wasn't hip to his favorite characters. He was really cracking me up. I loved talking to him.
Elaine thanks so much for everything and for the idea of dinner with you two for your anniversary. That was really special to be with both of you for that.
Your looking good too there. Bald guys have all the luck. I was very happy to finally meet you.
Kevin M

Elaine,
My love and gratitude will always be yours for bringing me out of 'lurking' and introducing me to your wonderful family!
Buddy, stay cool man. Too bad I quit file sharing- I'd compile you one hellova collection of country music!
J, your daughter and her 'little man' were simply a pleasure to meet!
Love Ya'll........................................
