Montana Stock Shindig reply

I'm making this a post so it's more obvious than a comment, because, again, Toni and Amber, it needs to be said what a terrific event you put on. You guys did such an amazing job. I think you two should do it again, because of your fabulous skills. I don't necessarily want to be the host of the reunion (in Montana, of course), but I'd be willing to step up if you guys are burned out and no one else cares to, just so we can continue this wonderful family legacy preservation device:) The photos are on their way. I'm burning dvd's as we speak. We had such a great time!

I just wanted to thank everyone for coming to the family reunion and for making it a huge success. I really appreciate that everyone worked hard to get along, be cooperative, and participate in the activities we had planned. We somehow managed to be together for 3 full days without too much drama - hooray for our side! I really hope that you all had a good time and made some memories that will last a lifetime. And I really think the icing on the cake was that we were able to get a picture of all 12 of us--the first time in 11 years! That is something that I will definitely treasure for the rest of my life. We'll definitely have to do it again in a couple of years. Finally, I want to publicly thank Amber for all of her support in planning & executing the reunion. She was a tremendous help to me - I really could not have pulled it off without her. I was somewhat of a slave driver during those three days, and she did everything I asked (okay, maybe commanded) her to do without complaint. Thanks so much Amber - you're the best!
