Hi Sarah, charlie and I had made arrangements to go to the convention
several months before Ed and Mike died, mainly to see Ed and meet Mike
for the first time. When they both passed away, we discussed it and
decided that we still don't want to miss the convention. We are hoping
that they have a tribute to both Mike and Ed. I am thrilled to see they
are adding three more UFO guests. Alan Perry was charming and I would
love to meet Dolores Mantez and Jane Merrow as well. It will be difficult
being there and knowing Ed and Mike were supposed to be there. I am sure
I will cry. I am looking forward to meeting up with old friends we met at
the first two conventions and making new friends from the shado group and
edbishopfans group. So we are definitely still going and we invite anyone
from the groups to please introduce themselves if they see our nametags!
