Just goes to show it's not the award but the sentiment that people treasure.
Honestly, I would have been jut as honored by what was meant to be the "gag" plaque as the beautiful, one-of-a-kind award that the "conspirators" created.

Thank you for posting the photos. I'm sure there will be more added as people get settled back into their regular lives.
You're setting a dangerous precident. You were so helpful, before, during and after the Vegas trip, that you may be saddled with a lifetime commitment. :-)
I've already told Chuck that he has a life sentence as our MC. :B

that is a life sentence for all of us (devil)
Seriously Chuck did a nice job. Even though he ran out of things to say (hard to imagine :> ) while Cody was waiting for a Guitar to arrive.

Thank you for you kind words. It was my pleasure to help out in any way I could.
I don't think "saddled" would be the right word...honored would be more accurate. It is something I enjoyed very much and would be thrilled to participate year after year.
As for all of us enduring a life sentence with Chuck as our MC, I would happily "suffer" through that as well. He is funny and entertaining, quick witted and has a great ability to think on his feet. He would be a tough act for anyone else to follow.
From someone who personally loathes public speaking, I'm sure glad someone is willing to do it.
That was a good burn though Joe....

Welcome back. Thanks Becky and Cody for sharing those photo's. I know it's a lot of work, but there are so many faces that I don't know.
Maybe eventually you can add captions to the photo's so that those of us who were not there, can put names to faces.
I really enjoyed the photos, and looks like you all had a blast.
I am going to try and save money up for next year. (Maybe!!!!)
Anyway, Thanks for sharing them, and I am looking forward to meeting everyone in the future.
Did anyone get a video of Cody's singing and guitar playing?? Sure would love to see that also. (I'm not asking for much am I???)
Chuck, you looked like you were having a blast as MC.
and Dee I am waiting to see how your new camera works. ha
Bye for now,
Glad to have you all back.

I'm sure video will be part of next year's party. It was a suggestion a few people made.
We're using that sea of pictures to select which ones we'll use for a home page slide show, with captions.
Even though we didn't get a "Class of 2007" picture this year, there's one shot of quite a few people at their tables, that will suffice.
Cody's song was great! I think it struck a chord (so to speak) with many of the people in the room.
I'd like to work with him in producing a polished version with more instruments etc.
The Chuckster was on fire as our MC. Very entertaining and he kept things moving at a good pace. I'm sure he made that job look much easier than it actually was.
We had a few Aussies at the party and I'm sure next year, when Peter Vasic comes, he'll bring more with him.
My prediction for next year is, as difficult as it is to imagine, an even better Beach Party.

Harvey, Dee, you, and Chuck.
Dee did offer captions on her photos, so now I have a face for Becky, Cody, and Joe.
Thanks for letting me know that I can expect more. I am sure there are a lot of us that will enjoy them.

I thanked Chuck privately, but need to do it publicly.
From the very beginning of the planning to the MC'ing, Chuck you did a fantastic job and your extreme efforts are greatly appreciated.
Words really cannot describe how indebted we are to you for a fantastic evening.

I want to know why David started the night in a white shirt and dark pants and later pics he has dark shirt and white pants.
Was the first outfit his "Master of Ceremonies" outfit and the second his "award recipient outfit"?
Or is he such a diva that he needeed to change his wardrobe mutiple times a night? (devil)
Inquiring minds want to know.

David,
I think you should. It is a great tune.
I mentioned to Cody he should polish it and sell it. I think he would make a killing...but he just wanted to do it for fun...so encourage him......it was a GREAT tune.

Yeah - most of us old engravers are deaf and the young folk started drinkn' early. (devil) Those two things make people easier to work with. Some could not hear him some did not care.

Thank you very much.
Seriously Mike thank you for your kind words and very generous gesture, although I was looking forward to the tube of grease. ( Insert gregarious laugh here).

Chuck - Congratulations on that prize - I bought one a few years ago when Roy first started talking about them and you will love it!!! After you get it set up if you have any questions give me a call - the instructions are some what normal for those types of scanners - vage! Very deserving of your hard work.
Very nice of you Mike - but what else could we have expected. ;-)

Joe, my folically challenged friend ( insert good natured laugh here)
Thank you for your kind words.....
Yes that is VERY generous of Mike. I'm not worthy.
But Mikes kind and generous offer is a PRIME example of what makes this forum special......the comraderie, the family, the friends and the helpfulness of all of the members....
As I mentioned at the bash, I have never seen so many helpful folks in one place. There were so many people there that have helped me....progress and have spent time with me......and there are many that weren't
When I knew you had gone home, I was sad...then when I knew I was probably the last one there it was sad too...because it was Soooooooooooo much fun...a couple of times I said to Lisa, "Hey,,,there's Joe..........but NOOOOOOOOOO.........( insert laugh here)
Anyway, a splendid time was had by all.....359 days until the next one.
:D
