    That was very nice. Thank you.
    You never turned around to see the frowns
    On the jugglers and the clowns
    When they all did tricks for you.

    The video was excellent. It was so nice to see Gene and hear his accounts of his hike.

    I managed to get a flashless photo of Gene at the Gathering on stage regaling us with his stories: http://whiteblaze.net/forum/vbg/show...&cutoffdate=-1

    Gene is a fantastic gentleman and wonderful speaker. What a treat to hear his stories live at The Gathering.

    Well said Gene, and well done WeatherCarrot.
