New Mexico Regional Co-Coordinators Lorin McCleary and Pat Albani hosted a gathering at the home of Pat & Dick Albani in Albuquerque. Lorin began by recognizing members' "missing" fathers and explaining the Missing Man Table Setting. There was lunch, a lot of "sharing" and, of course, some tears. Everyone joined in the singing the "AWON Sunshine" song at the end of the get together. Joie & Harry Heller drove all the way from Glendale, AZ to join the group.
