Hey Larry, how's those photos coming? (Not to pressure you in any way, you understand!)
Also..any word from Dean about the group shot? And that photographer fellow probably has some dandies as well......(sigh!) Just wonderin' outloud.

Hey Tony,
The ice shots were just north of Seattle....in Mt. Vernon, Washington.
Since that day, all has melted..and temps have risen. Your daughter should be fine and paint should have a chance to dry now...ha ha. Any word on the group photo? ...anyone?

Memorial Conclave Photos Feb 11

Some Conclave Photos... then sign of winter in Washington State heading home.
I am hoping Dean Ross will post the Group Shot here as well.
(or the Moderator can move these to the Deadman post if more appropriate!)
Thanks
