You're welcome... I think. It was nice meeting everyone and especially Ruth since I've heard so much about her and felt like I knew her already. Be sure to schedule the next expo when she has off work again.

It was nice to meet you this year, Jack. And after a bit I do seem to remember seeing a wacky cap last year.

You missed a good workshop with Linda and company. If it was the last workshop of the day, it might have spilled over into the bar.

it was very good to meet all the ones mentioned above, but i met jack and he did not metion me, well, maybe because he had to bend over for us all to know who he was. but jack it was still a pleasure. and thanks to all who attended the roundtable. i think it may have helped some people and w/a little luck, we can do it again next year

**Jack_Berry** · 07-25-2009, 10:55 PM

didn't know you were there. glad the bend over worked for you.

lookin for that cap eb.

who else did you folks meet you had not met before?

**guido4475** · 07-26-2009, 03:40 AM

I was able to make it on Saturday, my first time ever.Although I regret not meeting with anyone on here, but I felt kinda funny staring at everyone's badge reading names.I know, it sounds like a copout and all.I was the guy in the green hawaian shirt with black jeans with my girlfreind.I take that back, I did see Mr. Caffee,but he was talking with Jeff Jones.I dont like to nose my way into a conversation.I wanted to ask Mr Caffee what kind of shoes he was wearing.But it was a nice show, had a great time, acomplished alot, ran into quite a few old freinds.

I remember seeing that Hawaiian shirt, didn't realize it was you Guido.

I think Jack was avoiding me....I met everyone else on his list except him? LOL Maybe next year.

**piper1** · 07-26-2009, 12:15 PM

I got to meet,
Team Caffee (including Molly!)
Jack Berry (it did help once he bent over)
A Team
Mr and Mrs Layoutshooter (had a great dinner with them and ATeam)
moose
Dreamer
Dynamite1 (tnt)
Pelicn (Mrs and Mr and their happy co-pilot)
Danthewolf00 (and his tricked out Toshiba laptop...cool stuff Dan

)
Enemy (although way too briefly, wanted to talk more)
Gunnerx (as part of an all of a sudden Sprinter show and tell in the gravel lot)
William Allen (and his neat solar Sprinter)
Wingnut (Mrs and Mr.)
AnneM and Mark from Bolt
and of course....OVM .

I know I have forgotten to mention someone, and I did get to put faces to a lot of names at Linda's workshop. That was a really great thing, and seeing some familiar faces again and catching up.

I wish I could have stayed for the after show tailgate grill.

I was surprised that more carriers werent there, such as Landstar,Rocket, just to name a few. I was also surprised that Expeditor Services were not there, either.I did talk to Express 1, and was dissapointed to find out that they require vans to be 2 years old and newer.I think the no-apyment thing is saving quite a few of us right now.

Maybe next year I'll wear something alot louder, like a bright flourescent shirt with my name on it.lol.That would create some conversation.The Elvis guy on stilts was getting on my nerves a little bit.Hard to concentrate on the conversation with All-State with this tall dude going by every few minutes.

Rocket was there, kinda hidden up near the front on the end near where the model trucks were

It was so great to meet all the EO family...it was the highlight of the show for me.

I know there are friendships and business relationships that will last for many years to come out of the expos.

**layoutshooter** · 07-26-2009, 04:22 PM

We met WAY more than seven!! Seeing faces to go with the names will make it much easier to spot people while out on the road!! Be sure to make it next year if you missed this years event!!
