Yes, Joe - you are right and you were MISSED.  You know, it's been you, me, Eve and Wendy since the beginning.  It felt weird not having you there.  There are still beers owed, I believe ... ;)

BTW, if anyone wants copies of any of the pictures, just send me a PM with your email address and I will send them.

Wow- looks like it was a successful event (as usual)!  Sorry I missed it and I'll try hard to make it to the next one.  It great to see so many smiles and support and I think some new faces too- welcome to the most awesome group of AN'ers I've met - truth is you're the only ones I've met but you're all special to me! Loved the pics and Debbi- you have such a beautiful smile- your hard work is showing!!!

To the two Nancy's - thank you so much for the smile compliments!  Since I went out to Wisconsin to see Jackie, I have gotten SO much improvement.  It's pretty amazing.  And just goes to prove that the face can still heal 2 years later.

Nance, really hope you can come to our next one - you were missed!

Our next brunch will probably be either late September or November (ANA NJ is having their big mini-conference Oct 24, so we don't want to miss that.)  Anyone have a preference?

Debbi,

I meant to tell you the same thing about your smile.  If I didn't know already know you via this forum I would not have noticed anything unusual. Anything that's still going on is so minor at this point that only an astute observer like another AN'er would notice. Looks like they did a great job in Wisconsin. Your work paid off.
