Thanks Milcon

I would like to say thank you to everyone that made me feel so comfortable at the convention. I can honestly say that I have never had more of a feeling of belonging. The emotions that I felt were, for me, very hard to hold in. The passion that the conventioneers have for the cause is very real. I attended a family reunion a week before the convention. Many of them, I had not seen in 20+ years. I felt more at ease at Milcon than I did at the family renion. Blake and Jackie, and Jimmi and Ruthie welcomed me in the begining of Convention, I owe them special thanks. But that was just the start of many welcomes all just as heart felt. I now better close before the eyes start swelling again.

Lee,
Something tells me we'll be seeing more of each other, now that I know we only live an hour apart. And that you're a Brewers fan.
Take care, brother. It was great getting to know another member of my new family. I hope you don't have to use that new Clustermasx too often.

Lee,
It was surely my pleasure to meet and talk with you.
Always remember that we share our tears and our pain...and thank goodness that you're no longer alone.
I am overwhelmed by your compassion and love for your brother and sister in pain. It's people like you who help to keep us aware that CH is not all bad.
If you ever need anything Lee, please let us know...if you just need to talk, please call.
Thank you....for spending the last few days with us. We had a great time....and no doubt there were many memories made.
Much love,
Jean

Great meeting you, Lee. Had a great time sitting around and shootin' the bull, last night.
Thanks upon millions of thanks to all of those who worked so hard to make MilCon the great event that it was. I also, have too many people to thank, so a blanket Thank You is going to have to do!

Lee,
You felt that belonging because you do belong.. We are your family and don't you forget it...
It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you.. As I've learn from this family, (well I learned after Jackie pounded it into my head) remember that we are only a click away...
Much Love

Lee - Ya know, a lot of my blood family has that effect on me as well. The difference is that we don't get to choose them.
Even though it's through horrible circumstances, you've chosen wisely here.

Lee,
It was a real pleasure meeting you as well. I share your sense of being overwhelmed at all of this, yet I fear my anger over this condition will grow having seen what it has done, and how it effects, so many wondeerful people in such profound ways.
Be well my friend.

Lee -
I'm glad you came........ was nice to meet you.
We are practically neighbors.. .....and I expect that maybe we all should get together for a ball game or a festival or a cocktail or something.
Stay in touch - and plan on coming to DavCon07. It's in January.

Ok Lee. I checked you out on NCIC and you came up clean. I'm still gonna keep an eye on you. No one walks around with a shit eating grin all weekend unless he is up to somthing. I am glad it was everything that you hoped it would be. If Ruthie needs to talk to your wife before next year, let us know. She needs to be there all weekend as well. Nice meeting you bro. You are one of the good ones.

What a nice guy! I don't think I ever saw such a smiling face
I'm glad you felt at home, that is the goal I believe - feeling you're home.
Look forward to seeing you again next year,

Lee I loved meeting you even though you looked at me like I was a dragon from hell every time we met
Dayum but you're perceptive!
Watching you was exactly how I felt last year, just overwhelmed and overjoyed and at home.
Nothing like it is there?!
Now just post more like a good boy... don't make scary limey come after you eh?!

Helen, I certainly don't think that of you. You are a genuinely sincere and great person.
