Mike, I think besides the knowledge angle, it is really was fun to meet many of this board's posters and create new friendships. and February on my schedule is open right now so hopefully, I can return. March is Nevada and april is Oregon. I know my koi kichi friends the Olson's from Spokane, are looking to come again this year. Last year was fun for me cause I got to meet you and russ and kari and dinh and dan and bob and shiela ( well you get the idea!) and I'd never been looked after any better than by hosting club member Larry Gill, who has become a very special friend. I hope those that are thinking about it will ask Santa to make it possible
