What Members Are Saying About This Trip/Event

  • I thought this was a great class. I am sorry, I have been on a few things with Mike (&Jon) going all the way back to Chiltern. So Mike always seemed no signals but when he was younger and in closet he must have been lugging around a SPOTLIGHT! The world was changing until this administration and we may go back to the Waltons. Both depression and closets for religions, sexuality, middle class, but this showed exemplary dedication to do and be everywhere. I never knew about the 20K plus t - FlamingStream
