I think she is gone. Oh, well. :roll:
I miss her already.
Ava rocked.
I heard she was lost to the bodhran botherers. A great loss
to whistledom.
Yeah, Ava rocked. I will never forget her cheerfulness, her passion for irish music, and passion for life. May peace be granted to her… 
I thought she just moved from NY to Seattle?
She will find out that the Whistle still is the MOST fun of all and we will here from
her again, have no fear!
Lolly
Perhaps I’m overstepping my bounds, and if so she’s welcome to offer a sharp reprimand to me when she sees this:
Ava’s just fine. She’s in Rochester for school, though I believe she’ll be flying back out to the west coast today for a time. Several of us expect to see her for the winter solstice Great Rocky Mountain Session in Wyoming in about a week.
Know that she is alive and well…at 37,000 feet. 
B~
I saw her in the chat yesterday. Y’all just aren’t special enough for a Beth sighting.
Shh, Bri! Bloo knows that, he’s just making fun of me! LOL
I really AM out the door now though. Been fun watching!
NY to Seattle,with pit stop in Wyoming? It’s gotta be a long way.
Here’s to Avanutria–
–if it wasn’t for her pepsi-cola chanter, I’m not sure I’d joined the Board. Now you know who’s to blame…
Alas, poor Avanutria! I knew her, Brian: a person of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: her playing hath borne me on its wings a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Well, okay..never. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? On her way to Wyoming you say? Oh, nevermind then.
SEEN her. . .nope. . .
TALKED to the one and only. . .
YEP!
Avanutria is NOT a figment of my vivid imagination.
Avanutria is a Fig Newton of whose imagination? Hey! I’m hungry!
serp
he he he!
Serp, you may think of Ava as a fig newton, but to me she’ll always be twinkie, chocolate coated.
