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.

Dave
