[vpFREE] Re: Bob Dancer and Jean Scott

I echo the above post. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be living in Vegas and Lovin' Every MINUTE.

So, while you may have detractors, please know that at least in my life..you've been an inspiration..and I've NEVER been happier, more enthused about live and living large.

Hubby and I were in a rut (just entering our 50s), and moving here is the best thing that could have happened to us. We're always busy now, always have something to do..and are able to "budget" gambling and have more food/room offers/stuff and fun than we know what to do with.

so..from me ..THANK YOU!!

Just want you to know I appreciate all that you do and hope to run into you sometime during one of my trips to Vegas (or one of your trips back home).
