Let me add my two cents! Although I've enjoyed every pen event I've been to over the years, MPG 2016 was outstanding. The Ohio Chapter - Jon, Jason, Larry, Bob M., Bob J., Mike, and Mark - you guys did a great job!
We had great demonstrators and very informative sessions. Special thanks to Curtis for trekking from warm Texas to this ridiculously cold and snowy "spring" we're having in Ohio, and for doing two great demos.
It was great to reconnect with people I've met previously, and a special pleasure to shake some hands for the first time. I hesitate to mention any names because I truly enjoyed seeing everyone and I don't want to forget anyone, but two very long time members I was thrilled to meet were Perry Bridges and Jim Schrand. Thank you both for making the trip!
If you've never been to a pen gathering, I encourage you to get to one! Putting names to faces and making new friends is a priceless experience.
