Vikings: I had a fantastic time--even better than anticipated! I hope everyone else that attended did, as well. It wasn't perfect, but, frankly, I thought it was pretty damn close. (The Men's Room at Summers at the River might need some attention, for one.) Overall I think we did things the right way. Money-wise, we covered our costs, tipped our vendors, and will still have a little to donate to the PHS Viking Endowment fund. (Anyone that would like to see an accounting, let me know!) There were many hands in the organizing mix, but special thank you to Laura Schurr Mentgen, Kathe Kristek, Sherry Johnson Dark, Renee Goodwin, Leigh Woodworth Haught, Chrissy Dixon McNair! AND, of course, big kudos to Michael Hendrick for donating his time and talents. We'll do it again someday and pick back up where we left off last night! -- Greg Jones
