Another excellent Do! Thanks to all for making a latecomer feel welcome, it was a lot of fun.

Hmmm... that's not the impression we wanted to give you!

Randy is the most gracious and generous host, and a wonderful person to meet. He made everyone feel welcome, and made a point to talk with everyone personally. Randy expressed gratitude to Captain Flanagan for all he does for his travelling guests.

Captain Flanagan regaled us with interesting stories that show how much he cares about people. His simple acts of kindness go the extra mile for United customers and set an excellent example to follow. It was truly a pleasure to see you again.

I couldn't have said it better. The time flew by, and I don't think I had a chance to talk with half the group. It was a pleasure meeting everyone!

Captain Flanagan is a perfectionist, he does things right the first time around.:p

I added some pictures on flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/30026744@N06/

This is my first flickr experiment and I still need to add comments.

I also wanted to say that I had a lot of fun at my first DO. Thanks to Randy for hosting this and to Capt Flanagan for the gifts and the entertainment.

I wish to thank Randy for organizing such a great event with wonderful hospitality and an excellent dining experience. This was a true treat.:D

I too would like to add a big Thank You! to Capt. Flanagan for his time, insights and contagious positive attitude and to Randy for hosting this great event and for his warm fellowship and great stories of how it all started.

I also enjoyed meeting our neighbor FlyerTalker's. Who knew there were so many of us with similar, and sometimes considered odd by our friends, travel habits in the Denver area. Time really flew by fast and I regret not getting a chance to touch base with everyone. I believe a great time was had by all, and I look forward to the next DO.

I have posted my pictures here.

I have to agree with everyone. Many thanks to Randy, Captain Denny, and all the other Flyertalkers that made this a wondeful experience. Now if only I can convince my wife that we need to attend a DO somewhere with a beach.

I'm sure you can book a beach vacation without a FlyerTalk Do excuse. :D Anyhow, it was nice to meet you!

A huge thanks to everyone who came to honor our friend Cpt. Flanagan.

Thank you for the gifts and for taking the time to meet us, Captain :)

And as always, thank you, Randy for treating us to another great event.

I had a great time, I'm sorry I had to leave early...

I am really dissapointed that I missed this. My family flew with Capt Flanagan on a vacation, and his personal touch made a big difference.


...Next time, and I'm sure that our paths will cross again.
