Another great Indy meet is in the books!! A fun time, nice folks from the DIS, super food, lots of good conversation.
Let's see if I can get these pictures all correct.
First we have powellrj (Rae Jean) and her son, Nathan, all thumbs up, and Gary M and his wife Lana. Gary and Lana were among the very first folks from the DIS I ever met, at WDW back in '99. Marie has met them both also.
Squidrific, on the left, and Peggy, Caskbill's wife, on the right. Squidrific's DD, Katie, must have been out of the room for the moment. She had a new iPod that she showed me, looked very nice, lots of neat music. Stephanie, the waitress in the background, let us know she is one big Disney fan herself and said she would be dropping by the boards soon. Hope we see her here, she sure did make our day there pleasant.
And here we have, from the left, NancyIL, Serena (Laurie), disneyde and Marla Hellwig. Laurie had put the meet together, making the arrangements at the Loon Lake Lodge. We had a previous DIS meet at LLL, about 5 or 6 years ago and it was great then, and now. Reminds all of us of the Wilderness Lodge at WDW.
Here is the 'men's table', LOL. cdpa4d (Aaron) on the left, then Caskbill (Bill) and Towncrier (John). Looked like a DVC reunion with those three there.
Lastly, the 'junior' ladies at the meet, on the left, Kara, Marla's DD, Kelsea (with books), Laurie's DD, and I think Sarah, Kelsea's friend. Always nice to see the young DIS'ers enjoying a meet with the older folks. Kara and Kelsea sure have grown up since I last saw them.
All in all, a fun meet. Always nice getting together with the Indy DIS'ers, hope we can do another next year at this time, with even more people, and you all here have a few more throughout the year. And I am looking forward to the races now.
Thanks for the nice day everyone.
