Subject:West River Westies Micro Bus record
From:Eric Caron
Date:Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:22:32 -0400

Hi Denis,

        There seems to be two numbers floating around concerning the West River Westies 67 Micro bus tubing trip.  It is true that once we arrived the number counted was 19.  But, when Fishman, We were calling him DR. Fish, counted up for the picture he counted 17 plus himself.  So last year's record of 17 people and tubes was beat but we may need another try for 19!  Perhaps when we see the picture or he is back from his travels we can get a definitive answer.  On my side I plan to help the cause for next year by loosing a few pounds and thinning myself a bit.  Broke my heart to hear that bus rub the ground a few times!  And I'm very glad we didn't loose Art, the man hanging off the bus, as he was the one driving my camper back and forth from Bennington VT! It was a great gathering. My guide dog and retired guide must have loved it too as ever since we got home they keep asking to go back into the camper!
