Dale,
Let me know when you're in MD. Do you have any time to hit any of the sights in DC?

I'm going to try to meet Kay when I head to TX at some point this summer.

Thank you Phyl!!!

I will say that I always thought (I don't know why) that Dale was a very TALL person...um, let's just say she and Lori could have a contest!  I was bending at the knees and scrunched over in that pic!!  Dale, your personality is certainly not lacking!!   ;D 

Clarice-
You are too kind...

Hey, not bad at all for a cell phone pic!  Yeah, I heard I was running a race for "who's the shortest" with Lori!  I'm just so verbal, that I seen like a TALL person!  This is a great memory, and I hope to be repeated! 
Hugs,
Dale

As previously noted, I've met Kay and Keri out in the world. Had a wonderful dinner with Kay and her family as I was passing through Amarillo. Wonderful family, as was expected considering the wonderfulness that is Kay.

Met Keri on the Washington Mall for a quick hug and a picture. That meeting is one of the reasons I like technology so much. Without the ability to coordinate through texting we would never have been able to find each other that day.

I've also met with several people through the willing to talk program.
