Dear Friends of the 2008 Gathering,
Fifth Post-Gathering Report
I just wanted to say again how much I appreciated your
attending the 2008 Gathering in Scotland. It made all the planning and work
worthwhile. At least for me, all the good moments remain and the “I wish I
hads” are fading from my memory. Of course, it has been a joy to receive
messages saying you were glad you went, even though I know it was an
economic hardship for some of you.
For those reading this message. who weren’t able to
attend, I can only hope that someone will be planning to do it again in 2012
or 2013 or 2014. I can provide all the information, forms and feedback they
could possibly want. I know that the MacIntyres in Scotland will provide
all of the assistance they will need, as they did for me. The next one
should be even better organized and implemented. Of course, it won’t be the
first one.
I just received one more batch of photos, this time from
Fr. Fred MacIntyre. As soon as possible I’ll get them posted.
Rosemary and I wish you a happy holiday season,
Sincerely,
Martin |
