Fall MAHHA 2010 October 15-16-17

**Poppabear** · 10-15-2010, 10:11

I applogize to all the Fall MAHHA hangers. I regretably will not be able to attend the hang. I was on the road at 8:30 AM this mourning and at about 9:15 I recieved a call informing me that my big brother was just taken to the hospital in very serious condition. I immediately turned around and headed back home. We do no have many details yet but it appears to be his heart. As soon as we can arrange a baby sitter for the Grandson. My wife and I will be flying out to my brother places.
I was looking forward to meeting you all in person. But that will have to wait for another day and time. I hope you all have a great hang! I will be watching for the trip reports.

You only have one "Big Brother" and he comes first. Don't worry, there will be plenty of MAHHA hangs in the future. Best of luck for a great outcome!!

I believe it stands for Mid Atlantic Hammock Hangers Association.

I think I'll heading down tomorrow! Hopefully I will have the chance to check out all sorts of hammocks then.

At this point I don't even have a hammock, so I might be tenting it..
The other possibility is that I would head back Saturday night anyway since I have a bunch of schoolwork to do anyway. I just figure this is way too good a learning opportunity to pass up.
