  2. I'm with Paw. I think the smaller, regional get togethers that require a minimum of planning are the best. The Weenie Roast was just a nice, simple, relaxed weekend that was easy for most to travel to over a weekend. Those of us who were 1 or 2 states away from Tennessee didn't have to jump through hoops to drive for an easy camping weekend. I think the folks out in Arizona got together this past year one day. Although some planning went on, like Paw said, you can either make it or you can't. The food, beverages and other goodies were kinda "potluck" style (people said "I'll bring this; I'll bring that") and we all shared what we could. I think the simpler, the better. And if Greasespotters from 1 or a few states want to get together, then it's pretty easy to do. So just pick a date and have a get together that's close to some local folks. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Jardinero

    8th Corps

    Sunny1: Don is still in Tucson as Alfakat says. He's remarried with a little son and doing quite well last I heard (year or so ago). J.
  6. Lightside: I was in residence at RC the last year of VP's life when he was quite ill. He spent some time on different occasions talking to us about how difficult it was to make the decision to have the eye surgery. (He even passed around an extra eyeball he had for us to see the craftmanship of it! Gross!) He went into some song and dance about the high priests in the OT being without spot or blemish and to have surgery was some sort of violation of that; how he wrestled with the issue of his own sin (blemish), etc., can't remember it all now. But truly, many of us felt like his own "believing = receiving" doctrine had come back to haunt him. That he was grieved because he thought he had some sin that "caused" the eye injury and the need for surgery - - although the effects of the minor stroke he had had and the cancer were far more noticable physical effects on him than the eye thing. Anyway, he did talk about his wrestling with all of this physical stuff on different occasions which made the hard core devotees think of him in even more "holy" terms - - cuz they couldn't even imagine that any of this could be a result of the sin he inferred was a cause like so many records in the OT that he compared himself to as a MOG. I'm sure as people know they are dying, a lot of things go through their minds, but I stand as a witness as someone who was around him frequently up til his death - - that at no time did he publicly take the opportunity to make any amends for his lifestyle and the people he hurt - - at least that I heard of. He died leaving an organization in shambles even though he had many opportunities to "fix" many of the problems he himself caused and left a "legacy" to someone complicit in his sins - - and that someone has also never publicly admitted, discussed, made amends or tried to rectify the horrible things in which he participated.
