i think if i look at our guru member list i have personally met over 20 of the members. many have been to our home and others we have met on the road at our little get togethers. i have also been to a number of their homes.

then you add the large group of ones that i have talked to on the phone it gets to be quite a large number of newell friends.

we have all said it many times but none of us expected to get a whole new group of wonderful friends when we bought our newells.

i look forward to meeting many more of you as time goes on. if anyone wants to just chat, and you dont have my phone number, just PM or email me and i will send it to you.

this summer we thrust ourselves on jimmy, richard, steve b as we visited them on our trip. they all were wonderful hosts and took us in like the wandering strangers we were....

i think i must get a call or email or PM almost every day from one of my newell buddies. it brightens my day.

thanks to all of you.

later
