[Groop]Got my button too!

[Philippe 'BooK' Bruhat]

Hi all,

As many of you, I got my Groo button by mail a few weeks ago.
But in fact, the button was the last item I noticed in the enveloppe.
Actually, I didn't even notice it, until I looked again in the
enveloppe...

By now you must think "is he dumb or what?". Well, I am "what", as any
fool can plainly see.

There was a nice congratulation card from Gary and Becky G. for my
marriage with Ms. Estelle Souche. But I didn't notice this at first,
either.

OK, I *was* dumb (without voice) from emotion when I opened the enveloppe:
the first thing I took out of it was a genuine congratulation card saying
"Congratulations Philippe & Estelle", along with a Sergio drawing
(representing Chakaal, a mustached man I couldn't recognize, Groo, the
Minstrel and Rufferto), signed by Sergio himself! For me!! Direct from the
U.S.!!! That very morning!!!! In Paris, France!!!!!

Wow! That really was a great surprise!! I suppose Gary managed to get it
from Sergio at SD Con, while he was herding him to a panel or another.
Gary, you really are a gem! I guess that's the reason why Becky (aka
TLSMG) could endure all the Groo-related silliness for so many years!

I already knew how wonderful the Groop is (I'm hanging with you guys and
gals since 1995 or 1996), and this is just one more proof of it, if
anybody needed one.
