RATS- a reflection

[Ernie E]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After I took my best friend and wife to the airport, I came back to the coach
still here at Pine Mountain. Kinda quiet- just 6 of us here. Everyone is in
their coach, kinda eerie feeling. I saw places that old friends were parked. I
saw places that new friends were parked. I saw places that folks that post on
the forums were parked that I never have seen face to face in over a decade. To
finally meet someone that I have only seen their thoughts in print was
overwhelming.
I never thought 10+ years ago, when I attended my first RIV and worked my butt
off giving out old forum cards, that anything like this would ever happen, since
the factory went south.
Kinda makes a fella proud. And Humbled. And I am, humbled. And grateful. And
BLESSED!!
