2. Please let me know if you'd be able to go.

I'd love to meet you!

4. I wish I could. alas, not in that area at all. however, if you are ever in colorado springs,

let me know! would love to meet you, as well.

5. Oh, sorry! I was assuming you were in Wisconsin, since this is the Wisconsin group.

As for me ever being in Colorado Springs - it's unlikely, but who knows what the future may bring?

3. I think I shall go.

I am glad you posted the details. Thank you.

6. That would be wonderful! I'd really like to NOT be the only DUer there!

Thank you!

7. MadAsHell and I will be there.

We'll be at Jackpine's memorial early and then leave for a wedding at 2pm.

8. Wonderful! I look forward to meeting you!

I plan to be there at the starting time, so I should be able to find you two, yes?

I've thought about wearing a little sticker on my shirt that says "DU", so any other DUers who might be there can recognize me as a fellow DUer. Do you think that would be okay?

[sybylla]

9. I think that would be fine.

There's an easy explanation behind it and I cannot imagine Carla or the family being upset by it.

I don't even know yet what I'm wearing as it has to do double duty as wedding attire for an outdoor wedding as well. I purchased some clothes before Jim died, but now I'm not so sure they will work. I imagine I'll be trying everything on in my closet Saturday morning.

Maybe it will work best to pm a photo to you as I'm so undecided and I don't know about finding a pin or tag that will work before Saturday.

[scarletwoman]

10. Thank you. Honestly, I have no idea what I'll be wearing, either.

I haven't figured out whether to wear a skirt or pants or a dress or jeans - plus I'll be driving quite a ways, so it's got to be something that will hold up after a couple + hours in a car.

I'd definitely appreciate getting your photo ahead of time! That would be very helpful!

Thank you!

12. I've realized that I can make myself easy to spot, I'll most likely be walking with a cane.

I have a bad knee that's been giving me some trouble lately, so accessorising with my lovely hand-made diamond willow cane may be just the ticket.

[sybylla]

13. Ah, I will find you then.

Sorry to hear of your knee trouble.

I am looking forward to meeting you and any other DUers who can make it. I know Jim was always trying to make meet-ups happen. I think he would be pleased that we are finding each other at his memorial service.

11. I was so sorry to hear about Jackpine Radical. Thank you for sharing this.
