Had more police protection than I have seen in years, including five mounted officers. Not sure why, crowd was large, enthusiastic, but orderly. Saw no negative interaction w/LE - in fact they all were most pleasant.

Listened to speeches, passed out GSL stickers - even got chased down as I was leaving when my feet finally gave out by more people wanting them.

Saw a number of VCDL people including Mr & Mrs Peter Nap.

Weather was much more cooperative this year than last. All in all, a good event.
