It's almost embarrasing that I just now found this post! It appears I am the lone wolf declaring that I simply can not afford this event this year. I'm not complaining about the cost.... it is what it is. Ponds are not cheap. The knowledge and friendship it offers is priceless, but life was pretty cruel to us this last year.
My family was truly looking forward to this happening and meeting all of you pretty much in our own back yard. We still hope to drive down one evening to meet as many of you as possible. I will have Gayle send me some brochures to distribute and if anyone needs ANYTHING in the St. Louis area, please contact me!
