Most folks hit the Riverwalk after the Meet-N-Greet. The night was still young, and most people just kind of ambled away to the river to keep talking and getting to know each other.

Some of us, however, had more pressing things on our minds, like getting some real dinner. While we pretended to eat the hors d’ouevres (and they were very tasty), having had a light lunch, and then “hosting” the meet-n-greet and trying to make sure we touched base with everyone, sitting down to eat was an enticing thought.

Father Roderick, however, distractable as ever, disappeared and we had to chase him down! We finally threatened to leave him behind, and that motivated him. It’s a good thing he runs marathons.
