Thanks Carol, everyone of course respects each other's privacy and just being on a "first name only" basis among the guests being the norm allows for a lot of privacy as well.
Over the 17 years we have been members I am amazed at the diversity among those who we have become good friends with up in the mountains of WV and eventually shared backgrounds with.
A lot of active and retired members of the armed forces, enlisted and officer, including even a "one star", Government civilian employees of all grades including those from some "interesting" agencies, clergy, including a Bishop and his wife, plumbers, electricians, small business owners, and on and on and even a couple who run a travel board called TravelTalkOnline of all things!
The key ambiance is a recognition that people come in all shapes and sizes, we ALL look better without clothes, and NOBODY even CARES what YOU look like.
When are you and Eric coming back this way?
Bill (and Linda)
