Thank you for the highlights, Jon.
Bob and I wished to be there, but we aren't doing much traveling these
days. Some of our fondest memories are of GMCMI Conventions and the
wonderful GMCers from different parts of the world.
Good to hear about so many first timers. They are who will keep the GMCs
out on the road. Use and enjoy those coaches!
