Hi Mike,
Missed you last weekend.  Hope you are doing something fun.
Connie

from Kathy Doyle
"Fontaine, you are a fabulous, magnificant, gracious 
and efficient woman. You
and your children deserve much praise for all you 
contributed towards making
the memorial so wonderful. Despite the rain and 
ensuing problems, it truly
was a celebration of life  Without your coordinating  
and communicating
skills, the food might be still out in the rain.  
Thank you.

Also, thanks to the musicians and sound people; the 
music was great, the sound system clear and  static free.  
And the muscians were glad to let everyone particpate . 
I believe Mary Jayne Ford helped to  coordinate that.
The picture Russell Wheelock brought of a young Tary 
was great and so thughtful--that was about when I remember 
meeting him. And of course the program, (which I walked 
off without one of) which I believe Bauldauf printed was 
fine. Mary ann Wilson walked about collecting trash 
constantly.

<cc insert: Two guys were very helpful in directing 
vehicles into proper parking places, resulting in no 
blocked vehicles, and no-one stuck in the mud>
An amazing cooperative  event.
