Bernie, why would we want to do that?    :D

Met her Friday night-then had a chance to talk to her a little bit Sunday morning.  What an awesome lady and a true representative of our way of life-think she should be "The First Lady of Trad".    :clapper:    Wished I would have had more time to talk but with her being such a "celebrity" had to share time with everyone else.

It was I who was honored, and very deeply touched by the kindnesses shown me on my weekend adventure.

Firstly, Fletcher and his lovely wife Madeline took me under their wing, gave me a ride home to the motel and also graced me with company at dinner. And such company! I was surrounded by the PBS, leaders and accomplished hunters, and just plain nice people.

Gregg Coffey kindly allowed me to mail him my arrows (and pocket knife) so that I would not have to check them as baggage. Ron LaClair permitted me to stash them and my growing pile of purchases under his table, and to lollygag in a chair in his booth.

Whip gave me a ride Saturday morning so that I could slip in early and take pics before the Expo got crowded.This is when I missed out on buying that Caribow that I noticed when taking pics.

There is more, but my sore neck needs a hot shower, and that will give me time to reflect on other events that need telling.

Yep, I got to see my favorite Trad Lady too. I didn't shake her hand though. I got and gave a big hug.

I first met Kathy at ATAR 6 years ago. Shared a campfire and Cigars as well as refreshments. I could sit and talk/listen to her for hours.

She often posts exactly what I want to say on threads when I can't find the words. Good to see you again, Friend.

I agree - maybe Terry could comment on the process.

You should have taken me up on my offer to use the HotTub in my room that day while I was working at the booth....but I guess we don't know each other that well yet..   :biglaugh:

One thing i really wanted to do was meet Killie, something about a woman that shoots Traditional Archery makes my knees weak and my mouth dry.  Guess i just got a lil nervous to say hi.   :rolleyes:   Hopefully i will have the opportunity again sometime.

Am just the opposite, what drives me nuts is some folks know each other here on a first name bases and you read a post where someone says "I agree Joe Blow" and then you back up to find "Joe Blow" and there is nobody like that and you can't figure out what that poster is talking about. What needs to happen is when replying personally in a thread that person needs to be refereed to as their Tradgang handle not their real name so the rest of us can figure it out.

Killy is truely a gem of Tradgang and I wish I would have had the chance to meet her if I could've gone this weekend.

 I'm am a little surprised at the color of the liquid in her cup in that hotel lobby picture. I was expecting a little more amber and a little less redness to it. Hmmm, perhaps Basil Hayden isn't her beverage of choice???  ;)

The beverage was the result of the kindness of newfound friends, and it was tasty in its own right. The brandy warmed us all right up, and I will treasure the quiet talk we shared as the "rowdies" raged in the next room.

I think it was at this point that a certain Basil Hayden fan was busily juggling a glass of cognac and a hot tub, miraculously not losing the bottle. He did, I was told, finally become one with the cognac.

Basil Hayden is good, but so is Balvenie, Duff Gordon Late Bottled Vintage Port, soo bok, Coors Lite and a certain Texas vodka. All have their moments and milieus. (Sorry for the Franglais)

Hot tubs require a certain finesse. Or an attendant.

Street name or real name...   :dunno:  
When I started posting here, I was very careful to keep my sex hidden. I wanted to be taken for the content of my words and experiences. I didn't want to be derided because I was female, nor coddled because I was a gurrrrlllll.

Also,I was aware that there were predators on the internet, and I wanted to preserve a bit of privacy.

I am always a bit surprised when somebody wishes for someone to fix something for them, when they could fix it themselves, and the fix deprives somebody else of a choice. Sounds like most legislation.

I agree, them hot tubs ain't the easiest vessel for a fat old man who lacks finesse to navigate...but I'm too proud to have an "attendant"....   :biglaugh:

Killdeer, I could never call you "just one of the guys" because of the person that you truly are.  But any woman/girl/lady or what ever they liked to be called at the time, that will go to a traditional archery gathering and buy three bows instead of going and buying shoes and purses, is one fantastic type of human being, and a lot more so than some of others of the same gender.  Nothing like a person that loves traditional archery the way you do and spreads the word about it as you do.   :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:

I love it - by next year's K'zoo, the "waggin' tongues" will have it that it was rumored "by reliable sources" that well known "Mountain Men", and notables of the Traditional Archery World, Ron LaClair and "Killdeer", were seen in a hot tub of Brandy, still in their ever present checkered wool jackets, of course, splashing the warmth giving amber libation all over "some nameless rowdies" in the lobby of a certain high end hotel, at 2012's Kalamazoo. (Oughta be great for "speculative" attendance at K'zoo - 2013.)

(Killie, serves ya right for releasing "THAT" picture, again -   ;)  )

As far as names/handles go, I'll admit that I'm blamed lucky to remember my own street name  ... or handle for that matter, a lot of the time - let alone other folks monikers. Worst of it is,  I don't think there is a thing that poor, beleagured Terry (or anyone else) could do to help me do very much better - But I am sorry, and I love y'all anyway, name, handle, or none of the above.    :campfire:
