If you'd like to leave a note for Lynn or Tex Ann please post to this thread. How wonderful to read about these 2 special ladies who longtime collectors could consider as TRUE FRIENDS! Thanks for the opportunity! Hi TexAnn! It was great seeing and chatting with you at the Kansas City KOC event last year! You were looking great, and I'm glad to hear that things are going very well for you! I've also been keeping up with your progress through our good friend, Carol O! Hope to see you again soon! Hi Lynn! Gosh, it has been AGES since I last saw you, and I didn't realize you were living in Salt Lake City now! Your job there sounds great, and I'm happy that you love your life there! Please do keep in touch (gerhar @ swbell.net) and let me know when the show airs on HGTV. I surely don't want to miss it! Btw, I'm retired now. I left the Hallmark shop in 2001. Both of you ladies made such an exceptional management team; rest assured that it's a time that all longtime collectors remember most fondly! And that event in 1998!!!!! Well, that was something I'm sure we'll never experience again. It was like a dream! You are both missed very much, but it's good to hear that you both are doing things that you enjoy! Hugs, Ginny Gerharter St. Louis |

 I remember the 1998 convention as one of the most enjoyable experiences I ever had. I had a great time and made lifelone friends. It's still the "hallmark" all other events are measured against. Thanks to you both for some incredible memories.

Hi Lynn & Tex Ann,
Glad both of you are doing well. We really miss having you around the Hallmark scene. Is there a chance we might see you at the 2009 Event??? I would love to get another picture of the two of you kicking up your heels. I submitted that picture for the tape made in 2007 and they used it. Hope to see you again. Take care.

Just had email from Lynn Wylie advising me that the HGTV show, "My House is Worth What?" featuring her Salt Lake City home is set to premier on Sunday, October 12 7 PM Eastern. Set those DVRs or VCRs!!!!
"Old-timers" in KOC who go back to at least the late 1990's will want to be sure to set you VCR's or DVRs to catch the Sunday, October 12 (7 PM Eastern) HGTV presentation of "My House is Worth What?"
Tell your fellow local club members!
