This will be my second entry to the February challenge, if accepted, hosted by Patricia Feager and Lew Corcoran. When the challenge was posted my mind went wild with possible choices and what they have meant to me and my participation here in the Rain. The list was long and kept growing of those here in the Rain and those who have moved on for whatever reason. In order to declutter my mind and make more submissions in the future I have to mention many here and cut my list back to manageable size. That said the people I mention here are not likely to be everyone that had come to mind.
I begin with Steve Hoffacker who invited me to join the Rain and introduced me to Lou Ludwig. Moving along with those who I have met personally over the years Kathy Streib, Elyse Berman, Donald Urschalitz, Conrad Allen, Joe Petrowsky, Norm Padula, Noah Seidenberg, Alan May, Margaret Goss, Lisa Von Domek, The Real Debbie Reynolds, Evelyn and Larry Johnson and more. My brain is hitting overload. All in some way had an influence on me.
Then there are those who have had an influence through the Rain or phone call over the years beginning with a very valuable member Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400, Patricia Feager, MIchael Jacobs, Brian England, Nina Hollander, Roger Mucci, Clint Mckie, James Dray, John McCormick, Rob Thomas and more. Brain drain again.
The value of participating in the Rain has provided me the opportunity to meet. directly or in directly, so many I would never have engaged with in all parts of the country with interesting backgrounds. It's what keeps me active even in retirement when I have time to read more and ponder more when not spending time with my grandkids which is my pure joy.
I have come this far attempting to declutter and clear my mind and as you may have surmised by now I have failed. That said it was fun trying. Enjoy your day.
