[Cagdu] the march

[robert stigile]

Hello All,
I too participated in the march.
I carried the state placard from the beginning of the March to 
the time of entering the general session ballroom.
My Guide Dog Wonder, wanted many times to speed up and leave 
people in the dust, but I would not allow him, so we stayed 
mostly in the middle of the pack.  It was a great day, and it has 
been decided, that we will at least have a March next year, so 
everyone get ready.
Take care,

Robert Stigile

>Hi Guys,

who could not walk to the park where the celebration took place.  
I started in the back, but somehow I managed to move my way 
towards the front as well.  It was an awsome march and I hope 
everyone had a chance to participate in it!  This will now be an 
annual event it seems or at least we will be doing it again next 
year in Dallas!

independence.  In fact, we were more than in.  We started at the 
back of the line where the busses were loading for folks who 
couldn't march but wanted to be in the park.  As we marched 
along, I found that I was getting closer and closer to where 
Kevin Worley was giving instructions.  We got to the park well 
ahead of most of the other marchers.  On the way back to the 
hotel, I found myself at the front of the line, but a couple 
blocks before the hotel, I found myself passing Kevin.  By the 
time I got back to the hotel, I could just barely hear the 
marchers.  I didn't know quite what to do.  Should I go in and 
wait?  Should I merge with the rest of the marchers?  I decided 
to just go on ahead.  After all, I couldn't help it if those cane 
users were so slow; and besides, this was probably going to be 
Gulliver's last convention of any kind.  We arrived a full four 
minutes before everybody else.  Makes me wonder why
> I'm retiring Gulliver huh.  What fun and excitement.  Hurray for 
us!!!  Hurray for us each and every one!
