AR Friendships Last A Lifetime!!!

It did my heart good to receive a message from Bob Crane the other day saying he would be driving by and would like to see us...today was our lucky day!

We met Bob right here through Active Rain and we became fast friends with his whole family, we met at AR meetups back when he was in charge of them, in Southern Wisconsin and then at his meet up in Stephens Point.

Throughout the years he and Nick drove thru and we got to spend some time together.

Friends, get to know each other, get together when you can, it makes for life long friendships and memories.

Evelyn I also had the pleasure of meeting Bob at an ActiveRain MeetUp, and recently he was a guest speaker at our Weekly ActiveRain ZOOM Meeting.

By the way it is great to see you in the Rain again.  Say hi to Larry for me.

Hello Evelyn - I'll join in the chorus of "it's nice to 'see' you here"' with a post today.  Of course, AR is the source of the birth of many friendships.   Some of them quite long-lasting.

Hi Evelyn- I have to echo what George Souto and Michael Jacobs said, it is so good to see you here!!! And yes, ActiveRain friendships are so very special. Bob Crane has been here for many years and it was so sweet of him to pay you guys a visit. Hello to Larry!!!  Is he still doing his paintings?

Good morning Evelyn Johnston. It has been forever and a day since our paths have crossed. So nice that it has happened even though I had to rely on Katy Streib to make it happen. Miss the meet-ups and your hugs. Enjoy your day and please say hello to Larry for me.

Hi Evelyn:

So nice to see you, and Larry, here again. What fun to have met up with Bob Crane again.

You're so right...AR friendships are something special, even when you haven't seen each other or been in touch for a while!

I don't believe that I have ever run across better advice, Evelyn Johnston.
