... If it weren't Holy Saturday night with the Easter Vigil, I'd be there. Gene deserves this and much more

Agreed ... Easter Week is tough ... maybe the organizers will have an alternate Memorial get together during the season ... like a tailgate at one of the NY Metro shows ... maybe in Bridgeport at the Barnum or Hurcs show (both at Kennedy Stadium) ... Bpt is always friendly to dc and tailgates ...

The Organizers realized that there was not going to be a perfect time for everyone so if you cannot

make it then please be there in spirit. Also, nothing stops the sending of a donation to the Scholarship

Fund.

It was awsome and one of the main reasons is that it was MC'd by the two most professional communication

personalities of our time, Fran Haring and Mark Riley. You both led the event to epic proportions. It was a

very memorable evening everything was perfect, the food, the speakers, and the musical entertainment.

Thanks go to everyone who came to pay tribute to this great man. Again, it was just a perfect night.

I promise... neither Mark nor I paid Nat to say those kind words about us!!! LOL

We had a great time. So cool to hear all the great stories about Gene... some of them humorous, some quite touching.

And it was awesome to get a chance to work with Mark. He's a pro's pro... a great radio personality for many years.

Nat, thanks again for your hard work in getting this event up and running!!!
