WOW...
I am sitting here in the office and I have a great big smile on my face!
This was an amazing weekend for so many reasons!
The speakers were wonderful - amazing - terrific - caring - informative - generous with their time - just all around amazing!!!!!! (and FUN)
The families, those with HCM and friends were wonderful - amazing - terrific - caring - informative and FUN
Those attending the medical professionals meeting were INTERESTED, CONCERNED, caring, thirsty for knowledge, happy to attend and really great people!
The hotel was great - as was the staff
SO many wonderful things happened in such a short amount of time!!!
Oh Jim - our sweet friend - YOU were mentioned in the lunch panel - it was very very nice - I will let the person who made the comment - post themselves who it was - Here is what happened -
The question was directed to Dr. Lever - but before the question the person said - 'first let me thank you for taking good care of Jim - we all care a great deal about him.' - then there was a round of applause!!!
I almost cried...happy tears.
Cynthia Patterson -A truely outstanding 17 yr old - was the hit at lunch when Dr. Winters gave his pitch for the importance of young people learning CPR and AED's - this young lady is raising funds in her home to get AED's in all the schools in here county! I called her to the stage to tell EVERYONE what she is doing. She spoke with such grace - I was impressed!!
I could go on and on...and I am sure others will share stories about the funny, informative, sweet, and great things that happened this weekend.
I will simply say that Dr. Barry Maron (one of the most honest people I know) when asked how the meeting was first said "Excellent" and I said "are you just saying that to make me feel good?". He just looked at me and said "do you really think I would?" and then I though "heck NO, that not his style", then he said "ya know I would even say it was Outstanding". That is one compliment I am darn proud of.... but MUST make sure the world knows WHY it was so wonderful...and who made it that way:
BIG BIG THANKS TO:

Adam Salberg
Tim Stewart
Lynn Perry
Stacey Titus
Bill Flanagan

AND A GREAT BIG THANKS TO A LITTLE GIRL WHO HAS BEEN VERY GROWN UP ABOUT HER MOM BEING VERY BUSY...Miss Rebecca Salberg!

Oh and one last thought...my favorite part is still all the hugs!
