YES I have met several board members and all of them are very special to me, and we talk on the phone and by emails. Some that live close enough get together once in a while for lunch. Most live some distance away so we don't get to see each other much but do talk often. It always a pleasure to meet new friends, in my opion you can never have to many friends. I am hoping to meet more in the future. Hope everyone here has a wonderful weekend.
