    Hi Geoff, nice story about meeting Berni & Carl. Berni & i got chatting & became online friends not long before she passed away & i will always regret never meeting her in person even though we were from the same city.

    Hi Geoff and thanks for the very poignant tale of meeting Berni and Carl. Just had a very pleasant day out in Great Torrngton myself and thoroughly enjoyed it - must get VT to add the "Great" to the name though! Cheers, John.

    Hi Geoff...sounds like you should have checked your horoscope before leaving home that day to meet Berni and Carl! I'm so sorry to hear that she has passed on, but it's nice to hear that you had a chance to meet.

    Thank you for telling how you met Berni and Carl. I'm glad you were able to find them and have such a nice visit. I'm glad your car was able to do the trip.

    When Brent and I were to meet up with Berni and Carl, Hansi and Lori in Toronto, it was a comedy errors. Miscommunication and crummy cell phone service. Seems Berni caused a ruckus wherever she went :) Wendy (aka ladyjane)

    great story. When Koos and I met Berni and Carl our car nearly ended up in the sea. We had parked at the harbour and spent so much time chatting the tide had come in. Highest tide in 30 years!
