    Wanted to pass on this heartfelt text I got earlier this afternoon. For all of you who attended the central PA GTG this past weekend, your class, integrity, kindness, appreciation and respect shined through. I cannot express in words how proud I am to be associated with such a fine group of people as you all are here at FHC. A big THANK YOU from me and cwn877's family!!

    Well stated. I've enjoyed all the postings. This time they did movies. Was a group picture taken?

    Those fortunate enough to have been there know just how selfless and friendly Chris's family is. They helped make the event a great one

    Chris' and his family are awesome. They put an unbelievable amount of time and energy into this GTG !!
    We just can't thank them enough. Wish it could have lasted all week so we had time to get talk to everyone.

    We had 50 not including my family so it was close to 60 as they came and went. Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm thinking we may do it again possibly in the fall next time.

    It really was a blast and for everybody wondering if these things really are worth driving 3, 4, 5+ hours for, the answer is YES! Regardless of weather, we've now had cold and rainy, and blazing heat/humidity, the events are always a good time. Even if you have never met anybody in person before, it feels like you've known them forever. I encourage any and all of our members to organize these events on any scale. FHC ain't just on the internet. ;)
