Yes...kudos to Mike's speech. I'd have to say, my first group event, that
CITO out in St. Peters was way better than I had expected it to be. Those
who were there, you know who you are, really welcomed me to the group and
weren't tense regarding my foray in the newsgroup. You all are a great group
of people. :-)
