I will be at a Radney Foster concert the night before and live in nearby New Braunfels, so it will feel earlier than it really is to me. Elizabeth i sent you an email asking if those attending that participate in this forum will have name tags or something. It would be nice to put a face with the comments etc.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | It would be a good idea for any OCF members who will attend the San Antonio walk to comment on this thread so Elizabeth knows who to look for.
Of course Elizabeth and her family will be there since she is the one hosting the walk. Ray and his wife. I will be there. I know Charm and his wife are attending. I think Suess57 is going. Thats all the OCF people I know of so far.
