Timbo, Scambo and all ATL 777 pilots are already on the invite list. FTB, 80, Newk,Carl, Alpha, Sailing, Alan,Jughead,Bar,T,Jesse, et al. please consider yourselves invited. We are sending out a save the date around the 20th of Aug and then invites early Sept so people can bid around it. This will be RSVP due to the cost involved but we're planning on last minute arrivals. This party is with significant others and even RA is on the list so please don't be shy or worry that you won't know anyone. I have enjoyed all the conversations on the Latest and Greatest and figure this would be a great excuse to get together as many APCer's as possible. If you are interested please pm me your contact info and I will add you to my list.
The retiree's involved are; Ron Norris, Paul Faulkner, Marc Lugash, Gene Robinson, Warren Zatazalo and myself Ross Campbell. There are 3 others that are considering joining as of this time but not yet committed.
Ross, I pulled gear for you before, during, and after your broken leg(s). And I did an 88 school with Warren Z. It seems unbelievable that you guys are leaving! Fair winds and following seas. And my your party result in epicness!

100% sure they do.

The order is:

1. Drops
2. White slips
3. Swaps

At least he was riding a bike someplace safe, indoors!

Ask him what happens when you ride on the roads!

You'd have to be a serious bidding Ninja to put in a swap with a trip you haven't picked up yet, for a trip that's not in open time yet!

Finis,
Welcome to the club! You'll never have to "bid around" anything again. Laissez le bon temps rouler!

Finis,

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said so I'll just say "Ditto!" .

Hummmmmmm good point Let me ponder it. Was I based in LAX yet when we met in the pilot lounge? I was still in MSP when I met Finis.

Great memory, just real short.......ahhhhhh life before the shocker
