AirVenture 2007 -- Velocity Family Reunion I think I can say with confidence that everyone had a great time. If you didn't get enough to eat, it was your fault. It was Johnsonville brats and fresh burgers made from ground round. The hope for the cookout was to make us closer as a community. Put names with faces. Share building information and enthusiasm. I think we succeeded in all counts. The head count went somewhere over 70. It was just a shame there wasn�t more time to meet more of you! The cookout went better than we could have hoped. I think we were all waiting to find something that was forgotten. I have never been involved in an event where I had so many enthusiastic vounteers. Better yet, everyone came through in a way that completely exceeded expectations. This is a great group! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! I know I�m going to forget someone, so I�ll offer my apology up front. :(
