One of the special moments this year, not yet mentioned, was a
special tribute to Don by many of his close friends and associates.
Our own Mark and Doug were among those anointed as speakers and they
and the others said well what many of us feel about this wonderful
gentleman.

We too are still on the road back from GFM.
We stopped in the Smokeys last evening and waited for sundown at the
first turnout north of Newfound Gap. (A tip from a GFM presentation a
year or two ago.) The weather was cooperative and the view was good,
but we were too early. We waited for 1 1/2 hours, but were still 45
minutes too early. We were both hungry and it was after 8 PM. Will
plan better next year.
Today we tramped across Kentucky from I75 to I65, on the aledgedly
'scenic' road thru the Daniel Boone forest. We caught the Corvette
Museum in Bowling Green just before it closed and moved on to Indiana.
Chicago tomorrow.
The gathering at GFM is very special, thanks largely to the
environment that Don Nelson has fostered over the past 20 years. He
has had some bad health breaks in the past few years, but he continues
to hold us together with this wonderful experience. He's an amazing
fellow, accomplished photographer, humorist, consumate gentleman, and
thoughtful host. I wish all of you can have the opportunity to meet
him and experience some of his wise advice. His many friends, old and
new, keep returning to the mountain to share in the banquets he
prepares for us.
Regards, Bob S.

thought I'd just pop in to say GFM was terrific, and we're going
back next year. I'll post pics and comments when we get home.
We tramped around Nashville, TN today revisiting ole'Broadway.
Tomorrow we're headed for a little cabin in Giant City State Park
in Makanda, Il, then home.
Cheers, Christine
