[Heeplist] Myrtle Beach Trip/Heepvention 99

[Dale Fredericks]

There is not enough time in one day to list all the memories from HV’99, but I will always cherish the time Helen and I had with Merrick (Madman) Kathy and Gina at the beachfront condo we shared while in Myrtle Beach. There were only two things that didn’t go well, and that was the fact that Dave Griffin had to leave early to be with his wife, because of a death in her family……..the other was my wife, Helen, falling on her knee during the Jam night and having to first be carried to a car by myself and Louis Rentrop and then later taken to emergency to get crutches because she could hardly walk. Other than that, it was one of the best times I have had ever !!!!
