CW Members....met in person??

[spiridon]

One of the perks, benefits or bonuses of being a member here at CW (at least for me) is the opportunity to meet fellow members in person across the country on occasion. These opportunities have come in various forms, through local and regional herfs, trade shows, and just the simple act of contacting someone when passing through various communities. I have always enjoyed the extended sense of community and camaraderie when I have had the privilege of meeting a fellow CW member in person.......without fail an immediate bond was felt (again, at least on MY part! ).
We have a regional herf here on the Gulf Coast coming up in April which I am Soooooo looking forward to, seeing dear friends once again, which got me to thinking....how many CW members have you met with in person?
It would take me a while with quite a bit of thought to come up with an accurate list of those I have met, but just off the top of my head I'd have to guess for me it would be between 150 - 200???
The fun thought is this......there are still SO many more members that I HOPE and look forward to meeting in future days!
What about you guys, how many have you met along the way?
