I have a friend in Panama City on the Gulf Coast of Florida who's  looking for a session in his area. Anybody know if anything nearby?  He's somewhat of a newbie and wants to experience more of the TRAD  scene.See More

Hi Michael,
I guess you were at Feili Denver? How did your daughter do? I was hoping to be there for at least part of the day, but it didn't work out too well. We were in Philadelphia for Worlds (just to watch) and spent several days afterwards visiting my aunt and uncle close by in NJ. We were suppose to arrive in Denver late Friday afternoon the day before Feili, but because of the snow didn't get home until very late that night. Didn't feel like making the drive down to Castle Rock the next day. How long have you been with Heritage? Have a great week!
John
