Hi everyone. I signed up for this list when I first got the invite last fall, but never got any messages, so I thought it had just fizzled. I'm so glad one of our new local callers, Karen Fontana, forwarded something to me off this list. I've signed up again, read all the archives, and am so excited to hear about your calling adventures. Hopefully I'll see some of you this weekend at Ralph Page.

This is Jeremy Korr from Los Angeles, bringing the West Coast into the
conversation. I echo everything Bob writes about the Ralph Page weekend. But
Bob is too modest in his comments below -- he forgets to mention that at
last year's Open Mike, he gave a clinic on calling triple-minors with his
precise and carefully-worded calling of Ted Sannella's wonderful "King of
the Keyboard."
Have a terrific time in Durham, for all who are going. I'm sidelined this
year (we're expecting a baby two days ago, who stubbornly hasn't arrived
yet), but hopefully Lynn Ackerson from the Bay Area will be there again to
represent California.
