Fun Day



Today we went to Magic Mountain, all 14 of us!

It was a day of first in many ways. The five Snow children were together for the first time in years. First time at Magic Mountain for Naos Wilbrink, Annie Bergin, and Shea Snow. For one of my friends it was the first time back on a roller coaster after an accident. For me, it was the first time in over a decade I introduced first timers to some of the world’s best roller coasters.

We had a great time, even those who were weak of heart. The only hitch was that our shortest member not able to ride on many of the great coasters. But her entire face lit up when she was able to ride on Ninja. Her entire being lit up. It was a great way to end our day together.

Reckoning Kick-Off in Cali


In terms of numbers, we were a hit! About 100 people came to enjoy Dutch cheese, taste fine wine, and converse about Reckoning. I have to say that I was surprised by the number of people that showed up, but I greatly appreciated seeing friends who travelled many miles to be a part of this historic event.

We hope to develop a core group to start the works of Reckoning in California. Several people expressed interest but I believe in time a group will form. We have an opportunity to partner in a project in Oxnard and a professional fund raiser decided to help us develop. I look forward to watching things unfold over time.

Thank you to everyone who came.
