Gamer's Dinner 2000

3/24/2001

This year in addition to the Bay Area and southern California gamer friends, two friends from Ohio (Greg and Patty McMillin) flew in for the dinner. They also stayed for the game on Saturday, and a little sight seeing on Sunday. Again a very big thank you goes out to both Mike and Celia for the great meal.
