The Brotherhood of Sonora started on the Knox board, and was a big part of the foundation of this board. It extended beyond those who attended the event, as Jason well knows, and so do Yak, Carlos, pb, gatewheel (JT), SlowPuffs, alfredo buscatti, and gospelman too...and prolly some others whom I'm forgetting. They were all there in spirit.
Those who attended in the flesh were TJ (Tom), LL (George), cdstuart (Charles), CP (Gary), Puff Daddy (Jim), glpease (Greg), and yours truly. But the heart of the event—the real heart, the thing that set the tone—was TJ, Jonnie, and their friend Jean.
It was the kind of thing that happens in a dream. Something about people of good will always assuming the best of each other, not the worst. I think that's why it spilled over and affected so many others.
It was a dream, and dreams are tenuous things. But for a while, it was a good dream. A very good dream. It never would have happened without TJ.
