Totally agree, Jim. I had a bunch of a short conversations like that, even with guys that I know well but haven't seen in years. There was a LOT going on and it was hard to chat for any length of time except while waiting in the photo line or on the bus.
And, there were a bunch of guys that I would've liked to have met had I known they were there. Even with name tags it was difficult to see who was who.
Maybe next time we need to "go around the room" and introduce ourselves over dinner.
That said, the level of camaraderie on this trip was amazing. Many of the friendships i had previously have been strengthened a great deal. I am grateful we had the opportunity to do this.
