Great pic!  Thanks for sharing!  Meet ups like this are great, aren't they?  I'm still floored by the married couple both with an AN and sisters with an AN.  To me, that certainly smacks of an environmental cause of some sort.
Thanks for the pic!

Oh, you are SO honored to have met me, dear JoeF! How many times now? How many phone calls? Have you taken cover yet? :D

Brian, good point. Been a big discussion topic (verbal) lately about environmental impact... even asked the UK AN bruncher's about it.... and local as well. Will keep that as off topic from this thread but would love to get a feel for it (as I feel it is part of our family history as well). If you want to start a thread on it, go fer it.

Glad you all enjoyed the piccie. :)  BTW, breakfast was VERY fattening true English Tea Cakes with Raisins, tea, coffee and hot chocolate! yum! :)

Great picture. Nice to see you again, Julie. Welcome to the AN and AMMS (Atypical Menieres with Migraine Syndrome) forum!  ;)

Phyl,

Thanks for sharing the picture!  You all look awesome.  These AN's are sure strange bedfellows.  A husband and wife team and sisters, who would've thunk it?

Huggles,

Not sure who the reference is about the sisters (anyone care to note?) but what a nice time enjoyed by all..... was thrilled we got this organized, that Julie and Marion were able to make the ride (a bit of a distance for them, come to find out after the fact) but next trip over, will do again!

Glad all are enjoying..... nothing like funky ailments bringing folks together....  :)

Wendy, Lori, Kaybo and I are now sisters, but we're not in the picture.

Any chance some of the UK AN'ers will be attending the symposium?  It's a long way for them to travel, but it would be great to meet them.

The "sisters" reference is to "Suboo" and her sister (sorry, names escape me right now).  It's VERY unusual in my experience to have siblings both with AN's (unless there's some sort of environmental factor we haven't figured out yet).
