No party this year

[The Slab Bacon]

Due to my current health issues, medical bills, copays, snow damage to 2 houses, and insurance deductables. It is with a very heavy heart that I am posting this announcement. The yearly Post Timmonium AMers party is cancelled this year.
Due to situations beyond my control I have to cancel it for this year. I will miss it as much as you all will, but I just cant make it happen this year.

I love you all and will miss seeing you this year, but what must be must be  


However, next year will be a very different story. God willing, and the creek dont rize we will tear it up again next year!! I'll look forward to seeing all youse guys again next year! ! ! ! !

Yes, Frank, we'll miss you too.  Hope all is well and turns out ok.

Although you already pretty well announced that it was off about a month ago right after the porch roof collapsed.

I probably won't come to Timonium fester this spring since the major reason was your excellent party.

But as you say, bigger and better than ever and if you need a deck raising crew, I'd love to help out there.

I'll miss ya Frank and Carrol and all the other miscreants.
You have explained to me how much you enjoy doing the party, but the important thing is for you to get better!

You deserve a break, in more ways than one. Just show up to the fest this year for a change OM.

It's good to get together in person at least once a year.  Hope to see you and Carol when you're feeling good and no longer hunkered down.  Maybe we can even talk you guys into coming up for a future AMer breakfast..

As others have stated Frank, you and Carol have gone above and beyond for years in providing this party as an opportunity for a bunch of radio nuts to come hang around at your place, eat your food, play with your radios, stink up your basement, etc. You've both spent far too much time and effort on this, and if/when you decide to give it another go later, please offload some of it onto those who attend. As Steve sez, it would actually be GREAT to see you at the 'fest for a change, and that should include future 'fests as well.

As an aside, I've enjoyed every visit to your place, and would really like to make sure that continues, which means you gotta take care of your badass self. A break from some of this, regardless of how long, can only help with that.

Frank,
Everyone certainly understands.  What you have given over the years through your generosity is beyond words.  You and Carol have gone way beyond doing your part for many years now.  Its time to catch your breath and take a long deserved break.  When your up to it, come up for a visit to GMS Radio!  Your welcome up here anytime.

I must have missed that about the porch collapsing however, I did see that you were unable to host it. Well you and the Mrs. deserve a break, (I'm sure the neighbors are breathing a sigh of relief also ;>). I'm not going to make Timonium. The level of the fest has reached new lows. If it wasn't for Phraternity at Phranks, I would not go, (hence why I'm not attending this year). I'm looking to spoil for a private fest somewhere though.

Wishing you the very best, Frank.
Looking forward to next year!

Frank:

Although I have never made it to one of your pfarties I know they were memorable events not to be forgotten.  You have been so giving of your hospitality for so long that it is time to kick back for a while and enjoy the hospitality of others.  Perhaps you and Carol could join us at Deerfield NH this coming April 30th and May 1st for NEAR-Fest VII.  If you can make it just let me know and you will come as our guest.
