Chip, I agree with you.
I attended a full Regional that was like 20 Min from home.
Could have driven each day with out a problem.
But Ripleys Beleive it or not, it was cheeper for me to stay at the Friggen Hotel than it was to drive.
Never figured that one out to this day.
Second one, could only make the Dinner, but wrote a check for meal and a little more.
Got My Picture taken with Larry Brinkley, but when they introduced me for being a # 1 Pin, I was in the Toilet
So much for a fleeting Posterity!
For Brothers who live in the area, You Really should go. It is an eye opening experience and very rewarding.
I was @ the oldest one attending and not only had a Fantastice time with My Zeta Brothers, but in meeting Brothers and Staff from all over.
It is like meeting Brothers on GC, but as with GA, I met many others who I met on GA, but not face on. Jono of course I knew and Bud Peirce one of My Alums, now High Pi at UNLV, but some of the very familiar names on GC, dont need to name them as You all know them or of them!
If at all possible, GO.
If they have another in KC, I will be there for sure!
