Wednesday, July 16. The Westin, Hilton Head Island
The Giant Bellman. It was hard to miss Gayle and Larry. The Garners were the first members I spotted today at the Westin. They caught my eye because a giant Jamaican bellman was giving them both a hug. He recognized them from last year's convention. Good people skills.
Gayle and Larry's company (Holiday Comfort) is in North Carolina but they are MHISC Convention loyalists. This will be their 20th straight MHISC convention.
The Surfer. Allen Hutto (MHISC's Local Government Affairs Director) went body surfing this afternoon. Impressive. He is an attorney and body surfer as well. I can't even regular surf. Oh admit it, Dillard. You can't water ski either.
The Jet Setter. I want to be Chip Smith when I grow up. Chip (Owner of Blue Ridge Log Cabins) called this afternoon. He can't come down Thursday but "I'll fly down Friday."
The Iron Man. You gotta appreciate Van Wells. He has too many transactions going to do the convention but he is driving down from Anderson--and back--to attend the Board of Director's meeting.
Coming Up Thursday:
The Other Mr. Buffet. The convention opens tomorrow, Thursday, with our Margaritaville Reception which will include a Margarita Fountain and a Cheeseburger in Paradise Station. The music, of course, will be Jimmy Buffet. You'll see a lot of members in Hawaiian shirts having a laid-back good time.

Don't be modest Mark - I heard you're an awesome skydiver!!
Most of the skydivers I met weren't all that smart. If you think about it, this is not too surprising.
Rooster, the instructor who taught me and the buds to jump, had us get up on a picnic table.
"Okay," Rooster instructed. "You say: One-1000. Two-1000. Three-1000. Then pull the cord."
I got up on the table and said.
"One-100. Two-100."
"No. Nope," Rooster interrupted. "It's one-1000! Not one-100."
