&lt;P&gt;We were on the 35th and it was just our second trip with Olivia.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We first met you on the connect group for the 35th.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That was some connect group....we'll never forget that one....with the great Brendini keeping us all in stitches nonstop....the tons of supplies we collected for the Dominican Republic....and the famous parrots!&lt;/P&gt;
