Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 , Does it snow in Chicago in June? Here in WV we only have two seasons: Winter and August. Well, if there is no snow and the Good Lord wiulling I really would hope to be in Chicago. And since I will be bringing that old Lazy Boy of mine (gotta get this guy a name) I'd consider sharing a room if anyone thinks they can stand me for a day or two. We have started to bathe twice a week here in WV since we got running water.....Just holler. My driver will want one bed but with two doubles we would share....No Vaughn, it has to be a lady. Or a female. OK, , put me in your book. I'll start packing. Ronnie Celebration time Gentner and Thomson are trying to estimate how many are interested in coming to Chicago June 25-26, 2004. This will be an extra special connection, in that we will be celebrating the PLS Symposium that will take place June 4-6th. As most of you know, NORD put a restriction on the symposium that excluded patients from attending the Symposium. But nothing says we can't have a victory celebration. We worked hard, now we get to have fun! We will have a " Meet and Greet " Friday evening. Then Saturday morning, Dr. Siddique will give us an update on what was determined at the symposium. Hopefully, that will be a firm diagnostic criteria for PLS. There will also be a breakout session for those interested in genetics and after lunch we'll take a tour of the lab. Heck, we might even get lucky enough to see one of the PLS mice that Dr. Siddique has engineered. This should be an exciting and informative gathering. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you there, so please, say you'll come! We need to block rooms for this event, so let us know if you are thinking you might like to come. This isn't a formal count, just to get an idea on the number of rooms needed. We'll be at the Radisson Hotel & Suites - Chicago, 160 East Huron St., Chicago, Il 60611. http://www.radisson.com/chicagoil We've negotiated a special rate of $109 per night. This is a BIG discount from the regular rates in June. We are able to get Executive Kings or Executive Double Doubles for those that would like to room with someone, or those with kids. Contact , lkgentner@... and let her know the room type you would be interested in and how many would be attending. Remember, this is just to get a idea of how many rooms we need. You aren't committing to anything yet. I'm hoping for a huge turnout. This is our big event, our chance to celebrate, and my chance to thank all of you for making this happen.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ronnie & , I'm originally from neighboring Indiana and I've never seen snow in June. Hey...that reminds me...Mike Gray, are we finally going to be able to meet you in person? Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ronnie, If it snows in Chicago in June, I'll eat my hat. Or cane, your choice. I'm so happy you are coming. It should be a lot of fun. Don and I are coming in one the 24th so we'll have a full day to get ready for you all. Thomson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Mike, June 25-27 are the dates. Ya know, the standard Gathering Dinner Friday night, meeting on Saturday. How many more years is your son going to mess up your coming to our Connections? (Just kidding.) Gentner Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.
