Sue,
No, I'm sorry to say that I didn't. Small world and all that... Had I only
known you were there. :-)
Unfortunately, none of my friends are planning on going to the WSP next year,
although a trip to Chiefland is probably in the making. I haven't been to the
WSP since '96 and would like to get there again soon.
