David,

It was great to meet you as well!  Really, though, you need to start posting
messages as audio recordings.  That Scottish brogue is just excellent.

I know, I know, it is us Americans who have the accents . . . 

:-) 

Marc was truly excellent, and I still can't believe all the food that was
served.  That closing buffet brunch was amazing!  Prime rib!!! And the
Cherry-Berry pie was to die for.

Had excellent classes full of people anxious to pick up new ideas.  Well,
this morning some people were a bit drowsy and, dare I say it, hung over?
But they dutifully came to class!

All the best, David.

Don Mannino

I've enjoyed myself so much at MARC.  I got useful stuff out of all of the
classes I attended. And how nice to meet in person some of the names I've
known from this list over the years; Dale Erwin, Jon Page, Joe DiFazio, Don
Mannino and others.

The trip to get here was nighmarish because as I sat at the Gate in Glasgow
airport, the flight was canceled. It was a very full flight, so there was a
long line of persons waiting to be re-routed by the two Continental staff on
duty. Fortunately everyone seemed good humoured I stood for three and a half
hours before my turn came (during which other possible flights came a went)
and there was many other behind me in line.
I was re-routed via Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow, and made it here
to Bethlehem miussing only the Thurday morning class, so that wasn't too
bad.  There were a lot of other flight complications but i won't bore
everyone! I am hoping the flight home will be more straightforward.

Thanks to all involved for makinig MARC such a successful event, and to the
Histroic Hotel Bethlehem for good service.

Best wishes,

David Boyce.

P.S. The trouble with all those tools and parts displays is that you want
one of everything!
