my point is that after all Randy has done (for free) for each and every one of us and how the members of this board are bringing up the idea; I don't think its right that we now ask someone else to subsidize the event; I think its something that we all chip in for and pay for ourselves.
also in its simplest form, I wouldn't think of having a party for you then ask you or your place of employment pay for it. that in a nutshell is my point |

I will make every effort to attend this.

A vote for ATL where DL did such a good job helping the recent DL DO. Any chance it could be in early December? Long range planning is hard for many of us.

Anyhow, RP has indicated that 2011 would be far better timing, but beyond that, he did not provide and specifics, preferences or commitments about his willingness to attend. At this point, I will wait for him to choose to weigh in on this thread with any guidance. Randy has been threatening to come on the BRT (see sig below) for years. Maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone if we do it the same weekend (see sig below). Wait, 3 birds... since the Travel awards have already been announced for that weekend (see sig below for date). ;) We'll have lots of members in town that weekend. Randy. What do you say? I can even do the tour on Friday instead of Saturday. ;) dh |

beaubo, Good idea. I'm coming into my off-season, so I have the time. And who wouldn't want to go the CLE in the winter? :D
Either way, I will be there! |
It's looking like a single Do may not do and this is gearing up to a full-fledged farewell tour: poor Randy probably wants to ride quietly into the sunset.

... I wonder if we could get the dirigible hangar at Moffett Field?
Plus the Navy is getting ready to "de-skin" it (to remove contamination). Not sure when that will be ... and when/if the structure will be re-skinned. |

I think we should make this the largest FT DO ever!
For an event so dramatic as Randy's farewell, I'm sure that FTers would be willing to rally together, go just about anywhere, and make it the largest DO/tribute ever :D. I have to imagine that we can get more than the Chicago 500 together for this DO. It's for Randy after all, THE man who has enabled all FTers to come together to learn, share, gripe, and (usually) enhance their lives through each other.
I agree that DEN would be a great venue. Easy access from just about everywhere, very cool place in general, and very close to Randy's home base. I'm willing to go wherever Randy would like the gathering to be. I won't miss this DO, and I'm sure many others will/do feel the same. Just give me the when and where. My carry on is already packed ;) |
Randy who? ;)
