Got Together with Jan in Chicago
« on: May 14, 2012, 03:53:12 pm »
I was in Chicago last week and Jan and I met for lunch.  It's a treat to be able to discuss all the issues and know that we both understand first hand!  Besides that, we really had a lot of fun!

Nice to see you for the 2nd time.  We'll have to do it again next year!

You guys are great. Would love to do it again next year, Jan, and Kay, i WILL be in Houston in May 2013!
Jan, I misspoke....we did not meet for lunch, but for breakfast...at 7:45 no less!  Thanks for being so flexible with my crazy schedule!

See, it was so early when we met I didn't know if it was breakfast or lunch  ;D

One of these days I'll have to get to Houston, so you and I can both get together with Kay.  We could invite Lori, too.

Although we'd probably get thrown out of the restaurant . . .

I do suspect we could do a lot of damage together!  I will be in Houston next June (2013) and back in Chicago next May. The other option is that you could all come to LA for the ANA meeting!

Not planning to go to the symposium in LA - lots of reasons.

Hope to get to the one after that, but it all depends on where it is.

I get to see Jan, too! I will be in Chicago, visiting my SIL, who just happens to live in Jan's neighborhood. Can't wait to sit and visit with Ms. Jan. maybe even post a picture or two so everyone else can be jealous  ;)

I'm anxious to meet Priscilla, but am allowing no pictures.  Wouldn't let Dale take any either.

I totally respect your wishes. I will be happy to just sit down and visit! We will roll back into Chicago from Detroit Sunday night, June 3. Maybe Monday or Tuesday evening?

At this point, Tuesday would work better than Monday for me.

Thanks for making the long walk down Harrison, Jan! I so-o-o enjoyed spending time with you
on Tuesday. You looked great, and it was such a pleasure to put a real face with a name. I am in Chicago nearly every summer, so I hope we can do this again  :D

I think about Jan and Kay when I am in Chicago / Houston for my 30 minutes layovers from time to time! Have yet to connect!

Glad you all got to meet!
