    Debbie, Thank you! It takes a great effort to make TAG happen on a day-to-day basis but the rewards (2 Happy marriages, all the new friends, networking, and those trying so many new events for the first time in their lives) far out weigh the effort. Thanks for the nice comments.

       We drove to the desinated area and got there about 2:15ish (during a very large rainstorm, we searched for signs of life but were so disappointed we could not find any. Was the event cancelled due to rain? We were really looking forward to meeting everyone. -sewag
