Too bad, Harry. Would your daughter enjoy coming to a rally?

I thought about that option as well but she is the only one in our family that was not much into RVing. I am going to have to pass on this one.

Hello All:
I regret to inform all that the trip to Charleston, for the SE Rally is off for me. I was looking forward to meeting everyone. Maybe I'll make it next year, or another rally. I hope all goes well for you guys and a nice time is had by all.

I recommend a trip to the "USS Yorktown" (Gary showed interest earlier, I believe) there was a 93 year old volunteer working the desk on the ship, and I was looking forward to talking to him again. We talked for at least a half hour, him telling me of his service during the war (he worked in Design Engineering as a draftsman.


Regrets,
Jim O'Connor (Mr. Bojangles)

I too must cancel.  I received an opportunity for an all expense paid overseas trip.

Camille plans to drive over and visit for a day.

When I called to cancel, the campground person said "What's going on?"  I hope you have a good crowd.

We're going to miss you folks. But since you won't be there, we will also feel free to talk about you.  Maybe even make up a story or two! :D

We won't be attending this year because we have a conflicting rally in Lakeland, FL  >:(. We always enjoy visiting with old and new acquaintances.  Hope to see you all in 2010.

Good day to all

DW has asked me to inquire if any of the rally attendee's are interested in Geocaching?  If that word doesn't mean anything, check here: 

http://www.geocaching.com/

She started last winter and is firmly hooked, so would be willing to work with any of the folks if there's an interest.

See you on the 28th

In the likely event that Gary and Nancy can't make it (see here) someone might want to step forward as a stand-in rally leader.

I'm not prepared to do all the cooking that Gary and Nancy do, but I'm sure we can carry on if they can't be with us.  We'll elect a leader when we get there.   Hope that no one cancels because of the accident.  Anyway, we can talk about Gary and Nancy and make recommendations for their future.  (bg)  I know it isn't funny, but since they are O.K., we might as well be happy about it and continue their wonderful tradition of the Southeast Rally.

We canceled yesterday before we heard of the problems.  Hope the rally goes on and you all have a great time.

For all of us attending the rally in SC.

   Worried about the weather?  Forecasters are never wrong, are they?

Check out your worries right here

   Looking forward to nice warm/dry/wet/no snow week.  ;D

Has this question been asked before?  Name tags at rallies.

  I am the worst person in the world to remember names and faces.

Maybe the screen name and first name...will that fly. ?


   Not a demand, just a question.

Carson,

Wendy and Mike made name tags for us at the QZ rally. Are you offering to make name tags for the SE rally?

Carson, all you need to remember is to bring one name and one face
Surely you won't need a tag to remember that ;)  ;D

Good point, Lou.

   I look in the mirror every morning and say... who are you.   ;D

Tom, re volunteering, I have one day to think of something,, who knows, I am versatile.

Okay, now I'm confused.

I expected to see you wearing a tag that said "Carson", but now you say it's  "I am Versatile".

Maybe we do need name tags.

See you soon, will be there Wednesday.

   Looks my versatility is down the tubes. Haven't been able to find suitable name tags in my little town here; looks like a good idea having gone bad. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all.  :-[

  Anyone else wish to salvage this major problem?

  Maybe a Magic Marker on the forehead will work.

See you soon. carson FL

Carson, this isn't rocket science. Print them on self-adhesive labels, or print on plain paper and use pins  ??? Easier to remove than ink from a Magic Marker  ;)

Good idea, Tom. One problem..I am not set up to print labels and don't have enough time now to get that system going. Re pinning, I guess long thumbtacks will work.  ;D

   Guess we'll need a new volunteer.    SoSorry 

Carson, I've got a supply of sticky labels (1.5"-by-3.5").  I'll throw them in along with a magic marker.

Lou, don't forget the stick pins. About 1/2" should do. People with , what's it called "Double knit polyester clothing", may otherwise have adhesion problems.  ;D

 Ok, you are on....

As you folks have already guessed, Nancy & I have to cancel because of our motorhome accident. Unfortunately, that  means the dinner we were throwing is also off, so you will have to get creative for that night.

Ron Marabito has offered to help and Ray Baginski is another good organizer. And both are good at the breakfast arrangements, if you go ahead with that idea.

Have fun, enjoy Charleston's sights, and don't worry about us!

Anyone with a word processing program can make name badges, with or without the forum logo. Staples work really well for attaching the name tags to your chest  ;D Or any office supply store should have those stick-on ones that say "Hello, My Name Is....." which combined with Carson's Magic Marker would do fine.
