Good trip, great meetings.

Flight was later into Homer, while Val was being thoroughly checked out in Airport Security, I ran to gate to stop plane from leaving. Much to my surprise there was Doug and Sandy Stark. It wasn't very nice, they had been through a car accident. Left Council meeting at 9:45 p.m., black ice accident 12:00 a.m.? Doctor said concussion and can't fly till tomorrow and here it is 10 a.m. and still no sleep. Wow! That's dedication. What great public service.

So between Doug and Sandy's injuries and Val on crutches - no other City had a chance of AML Meeting Summer 2006, Homer.

Thanks.

Matt
