A Mid-Winter Get-Together At Meehan's: Friday, February 18, 2011

We figured, "February 18th -- it'll be freezing cold, the middle of a really BAD winter -- what a great time for a Swimmer's Get-Together at Meehan's in downtown Huntington." Boy, were we ever wrong -- at least about the freezing cold... it hit 60 plus degrees that Friday in February and it was really welcome as was the friendship we all shared on a strangely warm winter's night. My guess is that it wasn't just the weather outside that contributed to the warmth but the gathering together of good friends! For those of you who were there, I salute you. For those of you who missed it, take part in these pictures and be sure to join us next time -- we missed you!
