In Response To: Newfound Rendezvous Feedback (michael)

I believe it should be held. After a day like no other, I arrived home and spent as much time as I could with my kids, enjoying life in its simplist form. Later I load my canoe on the car and I intend to spend this evening in a quiet paddle on a local lake, taking note of everything around me and taking nothing for granted. We need to continue with life, not forgetting this event, but using it as a leason that our life is very precious.

: The Fifth Annual Newfound Rendezvous is scheduled for this weekend, September
: 14th, 15th, and 16th. It is a celebration of boatbuilding and people
: powered boats. In light of the tragedy in New York and Washington today we
: (the Newfound Rendezvous Committee) are trying to determine if it is
: proper and fitting that we should be celebrating anything this weekend. We
: expect that for the next few days the nation will be in mourning and
: trying to find it's way through this tragedy.

: On the one hand I don't think that we should let terrorism rule our lives,
: but on the other hand I recognize that many people in this area (to say
: nothing of the nation as a whole) have been affected by the events today
: either directly or indirectly. Our prayers go out to those who have loved
: ones lost or injured in these events. I am sure that I am not the only one
: who has had a hard time focusing on my daily work schedule today, even
: though I don't know anyone directly involved.

: We will have a meeting at 10 AM tomorrow (Wednesday) morning to determine if
: we should go forward with the Fifth Annual Newfound Rendezvous. I am
: looking for opinions and feedback on this from those who frequent this
: bulletin board, whether you planned on going to the Rendezvous or not. If
: you wish you can reply privately to me at the e-mail above.

: Thank you,
: Michael Vermouth
