I was just made aware that I may have overlooked including a few bus photo's that attended the "Bussin 2006" Arcadia Bus Rally. I assure you this is an oversight, I only had two days to do all I did accomplish in meeting, chatting and looking at everything I could consume.
I enjoyed making the reports on the www each night that I could to make our Rally nearly visible in your mind even if you could not be there. It took hours to sort over the photos to simplify looking at them by you at home after the Rally and those that were not able to attend this rally this year.
If I have overlooked anyone else's bus in my photo Arcadia album I apologize at this time. I assure you this was not on purpose, I may have lost track where I was off and on with my talking to everyone possible and introducing myself to all I had the pleasure to meet. This was difficult to have done in the little time I did the reporting and photographing and gathering all the informaition I could and do two seminars as well.
There was several people that are regulars on the bulletin boards that I wanted to find and meet and all of those desires did not materialize. I just did not have enough time to do everything I wanted to do and what some think I should of done.
Please do not be offended if I did not include your bus for some reason in any of my reporting. I assure you this will not happen again.

Amen to all above posts.
What Gary did during the time you were there along with two seminars is very busy man to say the least and then write detail reports. GREAT JOB!
Example I’ve taken all 135 ¾ view of buses during two half days on main ground and then MISS 45 more due to after dark.
Both Friday & Saturday morning was very foggy to photo……although “space shuttle” Eagle would look mighty haunting while floating over cloud…..why didn’t I think of it then to get that photo?
I’ll have them after Monday the 9th developed and perhaps open new web site to view. Whatever I choose, it be available to view. These are not digital photo but convert to digital from film.
Thank you Gary for your effort to get it done.
Sojourn for Christ, Jerry |

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You...Next year I'll be back with a vengence & would like to help Jack move the seminars to the next level.

Gary,
I wouldn't worry about not posting someones picture. If the guy was so worried then why didn't he take pictures. Not a good excuse to beat you up about stuff that you didn't have to do except as a courtesy to people who didn't get to attend. But to flame you for a voluntary action is just stupid anyway.
If it was FREE is is still cheap at Twice the price! I usually have tried to take pictures too and this time I only did about 70 or so which was way less than my usual of several hundred.
I had one time considered photos with interview questions & details but decided that I don't have enough life-force left and really didn't want the hassle of people not liking my work and especially for free. I get no payment or advertising when I take pictures and don't assume any reponsibility for missing stuff. It's in the public domain anyway.
Now if I charged for photo work like I used to years back then that would be a different situation.
On the next big event here in Florida I will be charging for pictures and prints of a special nature and product.
Dave....
Jack,
Thanks for a Wonderful time. Mary and I had a blast ! Oh.. I replaced the phone too! |
