I met Claire at the Grand Western Conference I in Missoula, a grand lady, for sure.  She's got guts.  My that goes back aways.  I met BTP at the Grand Western Conference II in Three Forks, MT, the next year along with a great bunch of Liberty loving folks including Elias Alias and Basil, who some of you know quite well.  Then there was the first "Jam." in Crook County and I haven't made another... Oh well, I will keep plugging away...
Haven't met Sue in person but hope to some time... :-)...
