It was really great to see everyone again. Mig is still her sweet little self and just brightens up a room everytime she walks in. Becky is still looking beautiful, and this year I had the honor to finally meet Mig's husband, Col. Slade, who by the way is a really nice guy.
Of course it's always a pleasure to spend an evening with Mr. Babe, who may be the easiest going and nicest guy that I know. My sister, SB, is just a really fun person to be with and has this abiltiy to bring sunshine to all those around her!
DMC did an excellent job in picking the restaurant, and is just a really great guy to talk to and hang out with. I only wish that some of the people in this world would take a page out of this guy's book and show the maturity, class and dignity that this young man displays everytime I am in his company. A true gentleman.
Our very own Don Malta did a really fantastic job coordinating this whole weekend get together and in the nice guy department, is right up there with Mr. Babe. Our Don also has a very big heart, so don't let him fool ya when he posts on here. I was very glad to meet Don Malta's business associate, a wonderful guy who fit right in with this group.
It's always a great evening when we all get together, especially when I get to spend time with my most valued and trusted friend, SC! His being in our company just makes the day that much more special for me.
I was quite happy to find someone who has quickly become a very good friend to all of us, Signor Vitelli, waiting for us in the restaurant! His joining us for dinner brought some life to the evening as he's just a funny guy to be around. He never lets the group down because he always has some kind of a surprise for us in that magic bag of tricks that he lugs around!
A very special thanks goes out to our friend from Florida, dontomasso, who was thoughtful and generous enough to contact the restaurant and have them send, on his behalf, a superb wine over to our table for us to enjoy with dinner! Grazie DonT! Salute! Salute! Salute!
And last, but definitely not least, it was really a pleasure to see Beth. This is a lady that I just find to be full of fun, a lady who does nothing but laugh, and just adds that much more life to anyone that is in her company.
You're ALL a really great bunch of people, and I only wish that we could get together more often than we do. I sincerely enjoyed spending the evening with each and every one of you!
VIVA LAS VEGAS 2008!
