Gulf Shores Convention

Post by 170C »

Hosts Ken and Sylvia Spivey put together a super enjoyable convention :D One of the best ones Becky and I have attended. It seemed everything came together as planned and I didn't hear complaints so it had to be good. As always it was good to get to see old friends and meet new ones. We missed those who were unable to attend. What a great organization we have :!:

Thanks Ken, Sylvia and all the volunteers who helped make this a most enjoyable convention. See you in Columbus next year :)

Yes, it was an excellent convention! Ken, Sylvia, and the large group of volunteers worked tirelessly to make sure we all had a great time. The hotel was right on the beautiful huge beach, the seafood was awesome, and just the right mix of events to attend. Nicely done!

I enjoyed coming down for Airport Day and attending the auction. Thanks to the Spivey's for putting it all together. It was nice to meet some of you.

I will just say that I felt bad about getting so close to the target with my bomb so I went ahead and really showed out on the spot landing by landing in three different spots and making you all think I was about to pick a fourth spot in the grass. :D
