Must add one more thing about the RT experience

[jloewe]

I'm sure everyone else noticed, but how about the fact that Cathe enjoyed herself as equally as we did!! She had the biggest smile leading those mini-step routines, and was glowing the whole time!

I've been to other events where the guest of honor simply didn't want to be bothered, and made no attempt to hide their displeasure, even though people were there to thank them.

I know from experience.

Jer, thanks for letting us know that. As someone who dislikes being the center of attention, I always imagine Cathe gritting her teeth until the weekend is over. It's nice to realize that she has a good time, despite those that insist upon treating her like a movie star. But I now understand that those folks are in the minority, and that for the most part the RTers are kind and respectful of Cathe as a person who's just having fun like everyone else. I am now officially determined to go on the next RT!

Nancy,

I can honestly tell you I did not witness anyone treating Cathe like a movie star, people were genuinely happy to have their pic taken with her, but there was mutual respect as far as I saw, I think yous should definitely go to a RT at some point.

Oh YAY! Cathe, did you hear that? Perhaps your greatest accomplishment!

Nancy, you will come with me. Whether you like it or not.
