2009 - THE FINALE

October 4, 2009 dawned a beautiful day for the last ListFest. The crowd was just right and everyone had a good time greeting old friends, getting to know new ones, sharing information and good food. It was bittersweet for Wayne and me--nice that we (mainly he) wouldn't have to spend 6 months in 2010 tending to the details for the next ListFest--yet sad that it was going to be the last one.		We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support of the annual gatherings and the web pages. Thank you to those who were there every year and to those who were only able to attend once or twice. It was wonderful to meet you and, God willing, we will see you again. Wayne and Jane

And here are the rest of us! This year our farthest travelers were Doug Maurer from New Mexico and Pam Wells from Florida. We also had guests from Chicago, Michigan, Indiana and of course, Ohio.
