Well, this one is tough for us but we are going to go ahead and pull out of Portland this year. Thinking about the group as a whole, especially those with pre-existing conditions (Kathy, Terry, etc.), I just can't in all good conscious suggest that, or encourage that we all gather as a large group. I know, I suck. Not that that doesn't mean folks can and shouldn't go but we are going to sit this one out.
About 3 weeks ago I had a call with Bernie and he said they would be very happy to host a gathering in June at their place in the back yard by the pool.
If you go, enjoy and stay safe. Hope to see everyone early this summer at Bernie's. I'll coordinate with him on a plan
In regards to the June gathering at Betsy and Bernie's, I have contacted the State Dept. of Corrections here locally to see if my Martha Stewart fashion anklet will allow me to travel that distance !! I am waiting on their reply....
