Hey Guys,

We should have a reunion sometime before we all die.  Break tradition
and maybe have a beer or soda together. Better make it soon.

Without this suggestion, I don't know if this reunion would have occurred.  But it did.  And, I just noticed, pure coincidence as those who remember my notes months ago trying to decide on a date, but our 1st Annual IANTN Reunion occurred on the exact same day, one year later, after Paul suggested we get together. 

So, it's a sign of things to come.  We have lots of members in our Yahoo IANTN group.  I'm sure more IANTN members will turn up in the next year.  Where are you Frank and Rich?  So, let's see if we can double our size for our next reunion. 

My time in Panama has influenced me and affected me, for better or for worse, more than anytime in my life.  To see those who were there with me or before me or after me, it was wonderful. 

The one thing I forgot to do, and it should have been done during my "talk" just prior to dinner, was a toast to all of us.  So, in absence of that toast on Saturday night, I lift my glass in respect of all of you and say, "Salud".  Gracias, amigos. 

Now, it's time to start planning Panama IANTN Reunion # 2.  Just make that I, and all of you, make it, whenever it may be.  And, don't forget to send your pictures to Ron.  I'll do so once I get mine developed.
