So, all in all, people visited and enjoyed the entertainment and had an all-around good time.  The meal was fantastic too....Lone Wolf.  So much planning and details and the Admin staff worked so hard to make it all happen.  They deserve a week off.....Bob.....:)

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming of packing and making sure nothing is forgotten at home.  Ta ta....for now.
