Just curious, but how does that number compare to the Cleveland meeting in 2014?

Now up to 50 attendees for Green Bay. In Cleveland we had around 40-42.

I'd like to thank George Bozeka, Mark Ford, Mark Durr, Roy Sye and Lee Elder for putting on
an excellent meeting this past weekend in Green Bay. I had a great time, learned a lot and
met a lot of very interesting people as well as revisited a few friends that I had met at our
Cleveland meeting two years ago. Bob Long was especially generous with his time (attending
both days plus socializing with us at the hotel) and both he and Zeke Bratkowski were very entertaining.

One suggestion - as Rupert mentioned in another thread - we need to allow more time for
the meeting. We have too many interesting people with much to say and the one and one-half
days are just not enough time.

I would very much like to second John's comment.

The weekend was absolutely fantastic. I'm glad I arrived early on Thursday to maximize the time I was able to spend with the tremendous people I had the opportunity to get to know. Bob Long was indeed the MVP of the weekend.

Thanks to the organizing committee for hosting a great event and thank you to all of my new friends for making this lone Canuck...and Vikings fan lol...feel right at home.

Thirded ... third'd?

Good grief, that was a fun weekend. Thanks, all.

[Gary Najman]

I also want to thank everybody for a great weekend. We had a great time meeting old and new faces. This is the third time I flew from Mexico to a PFRA Meeting (second time with my brother) and I hope to attend many more. Big thanks to George, Mark and everybody involved.

I'm finally back home, and i would like to thank George for a well organized meeting, and all the people who worked to make this event a great success.
Thank you for allowing me to make my presentation (for those interested: The Milan Rhinos formerly known as the Piacenza Ponk Panthers won ther italian Super Bowl crushing the Bolzano Giants 44-18), thank you for the great people i met, thank you for the chance to finally meet in person Mark after more than 10 years of "virtual" friendship.
Everything was perfect: a really great experience i hope to live again in the next meetings.
