Just a couple of pics from last nights GTG here in Oakville. It was finally great to meet Shane in person after all these years. Ron and Jess from Windsor drove down for last nights GTG and todays. Also good to meet Hannibal Smith and Solstice as well. See everyone at the large gathering later today at Heather's house.

Thanks for hosting last night, good times. Also great to finally meet Shane, really happy he was able to come down despite it being for sad reasons.

Hope we didn't leave too much of a mess. At least you had lots of leftovers for breakfast.

Not at all, Shane helped me clean up before heading off to sleep. He's sleeping in this morning. I have the aspirin at the ready!

Good times. Great food. Roger, those wings were excellent. Thanks everyone for coming.

Thanks for hosting Ted, happy to meet you guys, food was great. No popcorn in the popcorn machine? Looking forward to meeting new friends at Snowy's. The circumstances are tragic, but at least something good comes out of it.

Tough circumstances, but I am sure Rob would be proud to see everyone gathered like this. Sorry I couldn't make it last night, but will be at Snowy's this afternoon.

Thanks for posting the pics. What's the doggie's name?

Thanks for posting some pics! I'd say P-Arrow gets the best dressed award. That tweed coat suits him just right!

Great to meet (almost) everyone. Shame it had to be under these circumstances, but I know it would have made Rob happy to see everyone together enjoying food and beverages.

Thanks for sharing the photos.
All the best to everyone attending today's gathering.
I wish I could have been there but as it's family day weekend I am spending it up in Ottawa.

Yes, busy weekend, what with Valentine's Day and Family Day. Next time we have a GTG Kurt we will make usre it's not on a holiday.

Just at Pearson now waiting to catch my flight back home to NB. I wanted to give a HUGE thanks for such hospitality over the last two days. Between Ted allowing me to crash at his place and Scott driving my ass everywhere, its very much appreciated. It was so nice to put faces to all of the names I've come to know over the years.......hopefully its not the last time I meet up with all of you.

Really glad you made it out, it was a pleasure meeting you and we thoroughly enjoyed the Winter Warmer. Fly safe.

Looks like you guys had a great time, circumstances aside. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to the meet-up at Railton's or to Snowman's memorial... Ran into some family sadness of our own this week and ended up not having the time to make it across town. I had Rob (and all of you) in my thoughts yesterday.

Great meeting you Shane and thanks for lunch! On me next time... but Solstice doesn't get any because I don't like his face
