Welcome back Podcast Family!
This week we are sharing part one of three where some of those who were able to attend the Lewy Buddy Meet-Up in Caney Kansas on September 14, 2024 share how they felt meeting people they have only seen on zoom. For some, it was the first time they meet another person with Lewy Body Dementia in person. I know you will hear the Lewy Love shared by those who attended in Kansas. This needs to be in three parts because we recorded our first zoom meeting after the event and we wanted to give each person the opportunity to share how the meet-up made them feel.
Thank you all for your continued support and patience with us as we try really hard to get a new podcast done- hoping we get one a week but as you all know, Lewy and life sometimes get in the way. We know you all understand and support us anyway and for that we thank you!!! xoxo
Remember...We are doing this for all of us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
welcome back podcast family yes, welcome back y'all
and, as always, we want to thankall of you who have been
patient with us as we do ourbest to get on an episode out
each week, um, but we knowsometimes louie and life get in
the way.
Our goal is to get caught upand ahead the best we can.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yes, and we always say that if it wasn't for all of
you all, we may have stoppedafter the first few episodes.
Because, to be quite honest,for the two of us who knew
nothing about doing a podcastand in all fairness, we still
don't, but we have helpers it isa lot of planning but worth all
of it if someone can learn fromwhat we share or how we feel
(00:52):
and they learn that they're notalone on this journey.
But we wanted to send a shoutout to andrew zapula this week
for all he does editing thepodcast for us each week.
Before start, I want to give ashout out to some of our
supporters.
This week we've got Fred Pounds, lana Badcock, pia Bedard,
(01:13):
michelle Austin, lisa Seaversand all you other good folks who
help keep us supported.
Thank you all.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
The next three episodes are going to be a bit
different than what we usuallydo.
Carrie and I asked our MondayZoom members if we could record
them for a Zoom meeting afterour big Louie Buddy meetup in
Caney, kansas, on September 14th2024.
I hope you can hear the love,as those who were there at the
event share their feelings onwhat it was like to meet some of
(01:44):
the people.
You have been in a Zoom meetingwith Some people for up to
three years now, so here's partone of our three-part recording
called Louie Buddy Meetup.
We're recording a live Zoommeeting, the first Zoom meeting
after our Caney meetup, so we'lllet Andrew do his thing, but it
(02:11):
might not sound the same asnormal, because I just asked
everyone if it would be okay ifwe record it today so they can
share their feelings about lastweekend, especially with the
couple people that are hereright now that couldn't make the
trip but were in the video,which, technically, you were
there, but anyway.
(02:33):
So, curry, how are you feeling,though, because that was….
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm doing pretty good .
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, did you crash afterwards?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, yeah.
I was up and down all day long.
I slept, slept more than I wasawake right now you are.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
When you left the place, uh, you told me to tell
Linda and then I, by the time Igot to her, like you know, by
the time I got there, I totallyforgot.
I was supposed to tell her forlike five minutes and then I was
like, oh, curry said he needsto go home and she said, well,
he went, he went.
And I was like he put the jazzyin his car himself and he drove
(03:14):
, and she's like, no, he tookhis jazzy home.
I'm like, oh yeah, so it was.
I mean, we literally didn'teven remember to record live
because I got a selfie stickjust for that and I took all the
(03:37):
podcasts off there becausesomeone wanted me to record a
podcast during the event.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, there was no way.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I was like I told them I'm bringing it, but don't
be mad at me if I don't show it.
And for those of you thatweren't there, like Curry
thought I needed a screenbecause I told him my daughter
showed me how I can project thepodcast logo up on the wall,
because he didn't know about thevideo until like two minutes
(04:06):
before and so I went over.
I'm like listen, I made you avideo, so I just want you to
know that's what the screen wasreally for.
And what did you ask me?
I don't know.
You were like you're not goingto embarrass me, are you?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So I lean in like all gentle and stuff and I'm like
do you think I would?
Really embarrass you, and he'slike, yeah, yeah, yeah, nami,
did you get?
I tried this.
I don't know if I sent you thevideo.
Did I send you the video yet?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I did get it and it was amazing to hear and
to see and everything but God,how much I missed you.
Yeah, but that's the way.
Look like you all have fun.
I mean, I want to know everysingle detail.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah and we're.
I've got to apologize toeveryone because I did not.
I didn't take a single picturewith my phone and I never got a
chance to go live.
I was.
It seemed like I had someonewith me all day.
Yeah, and I never got a chanceto go live.
I was, seemed like I hadsomeone with me all day.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah well, you were a celebrity and Amy and Dory and
Tom.
I'm recording this, so I'mgoing to ask Andrew to just
share it.
Do what he does and share it.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
That's why we're not speaking.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You need to raise your hand before you speak, Tom.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
So I know.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I've got a sensor bar , yeah, sensor bar.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Well, that's Andrew, I'll be like three minutes and
12 seconds in top center Bleepout Tom, that kind of thing.
But anyway, it was um name me.
I was telling the group thatthere was a girl and her sister
there and her husband has louis,but he didn't come and my goal
(05:54):
with the video and like I showedthe video to tom and dory at at
the place I rent it and I waslike, all right, my goal is like
everybody's just gonna get armin arm and sing the song
together, that would just bevery emotional and it was much
more than that.
Like literally everyone juststart walking around hugging
each other while singing and itwas just I can't even I have the
(06:20):
chills just even talking aboutit.
I wish.
My only regret is we didn'tvideotape that and I didn't sit
in front of Curry to see hisface during the video.
But I think one of yourchildhood friend was taking
pictures.
So if anybody hasn't joined theKeeney get together page that
(06:41):
was there, do that and uploadyour pictures.
I took two pictures and it'swhat the place looked like after
we decorated it and have youany idea how many people were
there?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Linda?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I think we had 52 there was more than one wow yeah
, we had a couple like lastminute, like the night before,
like oh my god, I forgot to sendyou this and um it what you
know what I'm.

messages like marha they reallydid.

Thank you, Marsha.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Yeah, and Ray and Rose.
There's only one critique.
You know that microphone namedOlaf?

a duck and he should have beenone of Donald's nephews, huey
Dewey and Louie.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Huey Dewey and Louie, Huey, Huey and Dewey.
He should have been Louie.
Well, I'll make sure we get himan outfit.

We're staying in Dewey Oklahoma.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah, so we were in Dewey Wow.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
did you get in the lake or not?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
well, so the place that I rented for those
listening in podcast land has alake and dory.
What did it say in the book?
Like they give you a book, anairbnb book of things.
What did it say?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I looked at.
I looked at it in advance andit said a private lake.
But way, way, way down itmentioned once swimming and so I
thought, oh, there's somethingnot right about the swimming
thing.
We brought our bathing suitsbut we were very cautious.
And then in the in the book inthe house it said you can swim,
but there's snakes.
(09:04):
We.
We were like, okay, no, thankyou.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
They're okay.
You should be so lucky to seeone.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It was yeah, so that.
But Tom got up every morningand went out and he found
fossils and it was just we gotto see the sunset.
It was just like Martha came.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
So she's going to be thanking you, naomi, because she
came last minute and I'm likenaomi said oh brilliant, that's
fantastic that is fantastic andcarla got to come it was really
good and we got to see uh, aleprosy carrying armadillo okay,
as you would there was anarmadillo hanging around Several
(09:46):
armadillos at night Were therereally.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I have never seen an armadillo.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Oh my gosh, that's what Manny saw when he came home
late at night and he said therewas this big thing and he could
see it and it scurried away.
But Texas.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
there's supposed to be more armadillos in Texas than
anywhere, but we saw morearmadillos when we lived in
Oklahoma than we ever did inTexas.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Wow, well, I'm glad I didn't see one.
I was afraid of Sam Snake,where everybody else stayed.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Were they all good?
Were all the places thateverybody stayed good?
Everybody you know end up nearenough and it all worked out in
that way, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, Like I think Tom and Dory picked up Carol
Megan and took them to theirAirbnb and they stayed there and
chatted a while and it was just.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
They loved Caney.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Caney was just the nicest small town.
What a nice feel it has to it.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, really really pretty, it was absolutely
beautiful.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Oh yeah, Really nice.
The lights over the main streetat night are pretty.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, the zigzag yeah .
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, carol, and I took a quick jaunt down the main
road and took some picturesfrom the middle of the street.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yeah, I'll post those .
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, it was just great, but first Did.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Carol behave herself.
That's between.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Carol and I.
What happens in Caney stays inCaney.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, that's what I thought.
Did your pinky swear on it Of?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
course that's funny, I thought Did your pinky swear
on it?
Of course, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Okay, that's funny and the place I run it.
We had that saying many timeswhat happens in Kenya stays in
Kenya.
But I want to ask Marcia, howis Stephen doing how you been
doing?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
We are doing okay.
Time goes on and you know thereare things that come up.
I would have really loved tosee Linda and Annie when they
drove through Indianapolis, butthe night before I had
discovered that Stephen had aUTI and I had to attend to that
(12:04):
and he was not in real goodshape and not up for company.
But you know, those are justthe things that happen and
that's part of Lewy bodydementia and you all know that
far better than I know it.
But our days are good and we'restill living a good life, curry
(12:26):
, just like you promised.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
But you know, we lead a very quiet life and that's
you know.
That's why one of the reasonsthat this group has been so
important and what Curry hasdone has been so important, and
what you helped him do, linda,has just been a gift to
everybody who has been touchedby it, because it's very
(12:50):
isolating and this helps breakthe isolation.
Yeah, so I'm glad to see all ofyour little faces again.
Hi, carol, it's so good to seeyou.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Yeah, it really is, it's really good to see you.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
It was so good to see you on the video Saturday and
now here, sort of almost inperson.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm telling you, it was like, oh, like everybody.
That was the sound of the wholeroom when the video came on.
It was just very sweet.
And then to end it with TeepaSnow Curry, you were I think you
were really shocked with that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I was.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah.
So it was hard to lie to you,my friend.
Easy, not really hard, but yeah.
But you know I was trying toget your family like, just tell
them I need it to project thepodcast logo on the wall.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I kept asking Lorraine what the hell she need
a projector for.
I don't have any idea.
She just said she needs one.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He just said a bad word Drink up people.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Now I got to edit that out, put a blooper.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Whoops, yeah.
And the biggest strain on Currywas it was like you should have
had a like a North Polebackground instead of that big
sign, because it was likeeverybody was getting their
picture with Santa outside andthen it was well.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
He went out for his bed habit smoke, but them were
like he's been out there a longtime and you'd go out the door
and there'd be like a line ofpeople just waiting to to say
hello to him and I gave him a,because everybody had a lanyard
with their name and I.
I was like I'm just gonna, Iknow people are gonna know you,
but you got to wear your lanyard.
I was like I don't know ifpeople are going to know you,
but you've got to wear yourlanyard, put it on.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah, the only disappointment, curry, was when
Martha and Dory were late.
I had arranged with Jesse to gooutside the building when they
came and inform them that thefire marshal had informed them
that they'd reached the capacityand that they wouldn't be
allowed in.
Had informed them that they'dreached the capacity and that
(15:06):
they wouldn't be allowed in, butyou went out and you took your
entourage to smoke and spoiledit.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It literally was.
And when he would go outsidethe smoke there'd be like all
his peeps, like his would walkoutside with him.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, it was nice, it was a fun day.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Was there serious amounts of those chocolates that
you all liked?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Was there serious amounts of those peanut
chocolates that you guys allliked?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh, I got a bunch of them.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I got a wooden box full of them RC and peanuts.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That's the end of your diet.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah that.
I would have liked the videotoo.
Tracy and Sam were nice enoughto get a box, a really big box,
a wooden box, and spray paint it, and we got a lock for it In
the box.
I put a case of RC Cola, twothings of peanuts, his something
bar zero bars, reese's.
What else was in there, peanuts?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
his something bar, zero bars, zero bars, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Reese's.
What else was in there?
There was something.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The moon pie.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh, the moon pies that I brought from Philadelphia
.
The whole way I had to have icethe whole way for those moon
pies.
So I, after the video, Ipresented them this box and then
I proceeded to shut the box,lock it with the key, and then I
walked the key over to Linda.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Which, by the way, she still holds the key.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I know I was like here's all your treats from us,
but your wife is going tocontrol the key, so yeah, that
was pretty.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
And then Linda put Reese's.
Everybody got a bag and it hadthe NIH pamphlet and a pad of
paper to write down contactinformation and there were four
Reese's in there and that got mehome.
I didn't have to eat theterrible Delta granola bars
(17:01):
because I had those nice Reese's.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Yeah, well, I didn't get any of those.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
No, it was huge across the aisle so I got to
have them all.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So I put a business card and then with the QR code,
so I just thought so it was apurple bag with a purple book,
with a purple pen, with a purplelanyard, with a purple sticker,
so that when you walk aroundand you start meeting people,
people were writing contact andall that stuff.
And then just I know there wasa gentleman, don Kent, there,
(17:30):
and I don't know if anybody's, Iwould look him up on Facebook.
He's a retired lawyer and hiswife is a retired judge.
So they were there and he, youknow he's one of those advocates
you know, with Louis, likeCurry, and he just did anybody
else see the video of him hikingsome trail, like he was?
He showed me this video of himgoing on this hike and and it's,
(17:55):
he said he's picking up thereins from the gentleman who had
Louie for over 10 years thathad passed.
You might know him, corey, Ithink you mentioned his name.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Robert Bowles.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, because he had this.
His theme was ASAP and Ithought it was like, oh, you
live your life, you know, dowhat you want to do as soon as
possible.
But it wasn't.
It was an acronym for somethingelse that I wish I could
remember.
So his name is Don Kent and Iremember watching a video of him
(18:35):
very, very beginning.
I told him that I just don'tremember, but it was just very
sweet.
And there was Kara Colby camebecause she lost her husband
three years ago, and Miriam camewith her son, matthew, so that
she, just like I, was standingoutside the door Next thing I
(18:58):
know I saw this person likejumping over the curb at me and
she was like Linda.
I was like, oh, my God, you'rereal.
You're real.
Like with Tammy.
She was the first one to makeme cry.
I just no.
I just heard you say Linda, andI was like turn around to you
(19:18):
and I was like oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And it was the tears.
It turns out that Carol Colby.
She'd been in the group a longtime and she just lives about 45
minutes from here.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that's what she said.
All right, so ASAP meansacceptance, socialization,
attitude and purpose.
So he goes around and givesthat speech for the other guy
who had passed.
So it was.
Yeah, I, I've tried, like myfriends are saying how did it go
?
And I'm like I don't even,can't even come up with like the
(19:57):
right word to describe it.
I don't know, harry, how wasI'm going to go around and ask
people how was it for you?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh man, I said there were more people there than what
I would even imagine would haveshowed.
And you and the girls, everyonewho worked on putting that
thing together, Manny includedand Jesse and Randy everyone
done good, it was justexceptional.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, I didn't want it to just be.
I kept telling and Tracy willattest to this like we went the
night before to decorate and Iwas like, okay, I want three
tables here and three tableshere and this, this.
And she's like, oh, that's ateacher brain right there.
But I didn't want it to just bewhite tables and chairs, like I
had envisioned that I wanted tolook warm and inviting when
(20:52):
people walked in.
Envisioned that I wanted tolook warm and inviting when
people walked in, so it wasdecorated like autumnal
decorations, but getting to meeteveryone was just outrageous.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah Well, I didn't think to take one.
You know you go to the delihere in the States and you take
a number.
I was like I probably shouldhave bought one of those so
people could take a number totake one.
You know you go to the delihere in the States and you take
a number.
I was like I probably shouldhave bought one of those so
people could take a number to gosee Carrie, because there was a
line.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I would have just marched on top of everyone.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
No, you would.
It was just and you've huggedpeople more than once Like you'd
be walking, like I was makingsure the food was everything.
I'm like, oh, carol, again giveme a hug.
You know, it was just that kindof atmosphere and to be able to
sit and just like I sat acrossfrom Megan I can remember this
and like just this close to meand she's in front of me and
(21:52):
just everybody just went aroundand I think everybody made time
to sit with everybody.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
To sit a spell with everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And, like Linda just said, the only thing that we
really needed and we missed wasa sign-in book.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, curry didn't know who all registered.
You know it was kind of we,just you didn't need to know
that I need seven.
You know gold tablecloths andseven moms and Tracy came to the
rescue and put a bow around.
It was just.
It really was a group effort tomake it happen and you didn't
(22:34):
really need to know the details,those little details.
But his soon-to-begrandson-in-law smoked some of
that bologna that Curry alwaystalks about.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
So I got everybody's attention.
Once the the food line started,I'm like I just want to you
know, give you, let you know.
Over here there's peanuts inthis stuff, so if you have
peanut allergy, be careful.
And then I explained we had um.
What do we don't the?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
only thing about his smoked bologna was he didn't get
crisp enough on the outside andit wasn't wrapped.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And it wasn't wrapped in bacon, right, it wasn't
wrapped in bacon.
But I was like there's salad,there's chicken finger you know
chicken fingers and the bakedbeans are vegetarian.
And you know I was.
You know there's coleslaw.
I was explaining it and thenI'm like and there's some of
that bologna that Curry alwaysdoes, and everyone was like and
(23:36):
I did not turn the baloney downeither like that was the big hit
right there and did you alllike finish at 4 o'clock, or
what waiters we?
around 3, I think people, whichwas 4 hours there, you know, and
so there were still peoplethere around 4.30, but what was
(23:56):
good is people knew when theyhit their limit and they would
leave and that was yeah.
So I think two to three waswhen I think I was getting tired
.
So I can imagine people withLouie are getting tired, but I
think everybody's showtime,because I was hoping Curry would
(24:19):
showtime because he hasn'treally slept in a while and I'm
like I really hope you go homeand just don't wake up until
Monday.
But you did, you finally gotsome sleep right?
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, we all got here in snow for a few right?
Yeah, I did, and then we allgot here and snore for a few
minutes.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, you do you have a cute snore.
I, on the other hand, she rapsfor windows, yeah, but Tracy and
Sam drove their RV van to theranch and hooked up, so they got
to spend a lot of time therebecause it was ridiculously big
(24:59):
and that was like my goal wasand I was going to invite Carol
and Megan back, but then Tom andDory wound up staying and
talking with them, which wasgreat afterwards, and I was like
, okay, that's good, it was just, I don't know, very powerful.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It really was yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Because I've been seeing you guys on this screen
for three years some of you andto see it in person, yeah.
So, tom, why don't you explainwhat it meant?
I'm going to just have a couplepeople share their thoughts.
Tom, why don't you explain whatit meant?
Speaker 6 (25:35):
I'm going to just have a couple people share their
thoughts.
Well, it would just, it'd be sohard to say in a few minutes,
it's just so you know you'd haveto say it was surreal and it
was powerful and it wasextremely, extremely moving and
everything was just right.
Everything I mean, like all thepeople involved, all of you
(25:55):
know I can't.
You know Curry's family, youknow you, and Manny and Tracy
and Sam, and you know, andTracy's you know, so you know
tasteful and beautifuldecoration of the centerpieces
(26:18):
and the venue and it was likeyou know just everything.
It was just, and the foodCouldn't have been any better.
It couldn't have been any betterand I was.
It was one of the most movingand beautiful things that you
didn't want to end and you knewit had to and it was just, oh,
(26:39):
just meeting the people.
It was that was so surrealbecause it was a, it was a
feeling of meeting them and yet,and yet you already knew them.
You know it's hard to, it'shard to describe for me because
it was just a.
It was like I already know you,I don't need to meet you, but I
get to hug you, I get to hugSharon, I get to hug all you
know Megan and and and and Tracyand Sam and Carol and and Tammy
(27:04):
and and just.
You know Linda, everybody andyou know it just.
And then we were lucky enoughto transport Carol and Megan, so
we got to talk.
I shouldn't say that, carol,you got to listen to me in the
back seat for I don't knowseveral hours, but you can say
(27:26):
at least we did spend timetogether, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Yeah, but there's a lady between us, very, very
sweet Emmy.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Oh, emmy, and we sat on the porch and we talked for
hours.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, that was nice.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
It was really nice.
It was just, everything wasnice, everything was beautiful.
The film was so indescribablymoving.
It was like people just sobbed.
I became totally and noexaggeration, I just became
totally incapacitated after thatfilm.
I just did.
It was that moving.
(28:05):
Thinking about it now almostmakes me weep.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That's all the time we have for this week.
Please listen next week forpart two of our New we Buddy
meetup.
welcome back podcast family yes, welcome back y'all
and, as always, we want to thankall of you who have been
patient with us as we do ourbest to get on an episode out
each week, um, but we knowsometimes louie and life get in
the way.
Our goal is to get caught upand ahead the best we can.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yes, and we always say that if it wasn't for all of
you all, we may have stoppedafter the first few episodes.
Because, to be quite honest,for the two of us who knew
nothing about doing a podcastand in all fairness, we still
don't, but we have helpers it isa lot of planning but worth all
of it if someone can learn fromwhat we share or how we feel
(00:52):
and they learn that they're notalone on this journey.
But we wanted to send a shoutout to andrew zapula this week
for all he does editing thepodcast for us each week.
Before start, I want to give ashout out to some of our
supporters.
This week we've got Fred Pounds, lana Badcock, pia Bedard,
(01:13):
michelle Austin, lisa Seaversand all you other good folks who
help keep us supported.
Thank you all.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
The next three episodes are going to be a bit
different than what we usuallydo.
Carrie and I asked our MondayZoom members if we could record
them for a Zoom meeting afterour big Louie Buddy meetup in
Caney, kansas, on September 14th2024.
I hope you can hear the love,as those who were there at the
event share their feelings onwhat it was like to meet some of
(01:44):
the people.
You have been in a Zoom meetingwith Some people for up to
three years now, so here's partone of our three-part recording
called Louie Buddy Meetup.
We're recording a live Zoommeeting, the first Zoom meeting
after our Caney meetup, so we'lllet Andrew do his thing, but it
(02:11):
might not sound the same asnormal, because I just asked
everyone if it would be okay ifwe record it today so they can
share their feelings about lastweekend, especially with the
couple people that are hereright now that couldn't make the
trip but were in the video,which, technically, you were
there, but anyway.
(02:33):
So, curry, how are you feeling,though, because that was….
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm doing pretty good .
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, did you crash afterwards?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, yeah.
I was up and down all day long.
I slept, slept more than I wasawake right now you are.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
When you left the place, uh, you told me to tell
Linda and then I, by the time Igot to her, like you know, by
the time I got there, I totallyforgot.
I was supposed to tell her forlike five minutes and then I was
like, oh, curry said he needsto go home and she said, well,
he went, he went.
And I was like he put the jazzyin his car himself and he drove
(03:14):
, and she's like, no, he tookhis jazzy home.
I'm like, oh yeah, so it was.
I mean, we literally didn'teven remember to record live
because I got a selfie stickjust for that and I took all the
(03:37):
podcasts off there becausesomeone wanted me to record a
podcast during the event.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, there was no way.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I was like I told them I'm bringing it, but don't
be mad at me if I don't show it.
And for those of you thatweren't there, like Curry
thought I needed a screenbecause I told him my daughter
showed me how I can project thepodcast logo up on the wall,
because he didn't know about thevideo until like two minutes
(04:06):
before and so I went over.
I'm like listen, I made you avideo, so I just want you to
know that's what the screen wasreally for.
And what did you ask me?
I don't know.
You were like you're not goingto embarrass me, are you?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So I lean in like all gentle and stuff and I'm like
do you think I would?
Really embarrass you, and he'slike, yeah, yeah, yeah, nami,
did you get?
I tried this.
I don't know if I sent you thevideo.
Did I send you the video yet?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I did get it and it was amazing to hear and
to see and everything but God,how much I missed you.
Yeah, but that's the way.
Look like you all have fun.
I mean, I want to know everysingle detail.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah and we're.
I've got to apologize toeveryone because I did not.
I didn't take a single picturewith my phone and I never got a
chance to go live.
I was.
It seemed like I had someonewith me all day.
Yeah, and I never got a chanceto go live.
I was, seemed like I hadsomeone with me all day.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah well, you were a celebrity and Amy and Dory and
Tom.
I'm recording this, so I'mgoing to ask Andrew to just
share it.
Do what he does and share it.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
That's why we're not speaking.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You need to raise your hand before you speak, Tom.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
So I know.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I've got a sensor bar , yeah, sensor bar.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Well, that's Andrew, I'll be like three minutes and
12 seconds in top center Bleepout Tom, that kind of thing.
But anyway, it was um name me.
I was telling the group thatthere was a girl and her sister
there and her husband has louis,but he didn't come and my goal
(05:54):
with the video and like I showedthe video to tom and dory at at
the place I rent it and I waslike, all right, my goal is like
everybody's just gonna get armin arm and sing the song
together, that would just bevery emotional and it was much
more than that.
Like literally everyone juststart walking around hugging
each other while singing and itwas just I can't even I have the
(06:20):
chills just even talking aboutit.
I wish.
My only regret is we didn'tvideotape that and I didn't sit
in front of Curry to see hisface during the video.
But I think one of yourchildhood friend was taking
pictures.
So if anybody hasn't joined theKeeney get together page that
(06:41):
was there, do that and uploadyour pictures.
I took two pictures and it'swhat the place looked like after
we decorated it and have youany idea how many people were
there?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Linda?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I think we had 52 there was more than one wow yeah
, we had a couple like lastminute, like the night before,
like oh my god, I forgot to sendyou this and um it what you
know what I'm.

messages like marha they reallydid.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Thank you, Marsha.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Yeah, and Ray and Rose.
There's only one critique.
You know that microphone namedOlaf?

He should have been renamed,should have been dressed up like
a duck and he should have beenone of Donald's nephews, huey
Dewey and Louie.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Huey Dewey and Louie, Huey, Huey and Dewey.
He should have been Louie.
Well, I'll make sure we get himan outfit.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
We're staying in Dewey Oklahoma.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah, so we were in Dewey Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
People laughed at your video, for sure, and that
was, and we Did.
I send you pictures, picturesnamey of the ranch, oh god, yeah
, yeah, it was just I mean, wasit brilliant?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
did you get in the lake or not?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
well, so the place that I rented for those
listening in podcast land has alake and dory.
What did it say in the book?
Like they give you a book, anairbnb book of things.
What did it say?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I looked at.
I looked at it in advance andit said a private lake.
But way, way, way down itmentioned once swimming and so I
thought, oh, there's somethingnot right about the swimming
thing.
We brought our bathing suitsbut we were very cautious.
And then in the in the book inthe house it said you can swim,
but there's snakes.
(09:04):
We.
We were like, okay, no, thankyou.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
They're okay.
You should be so lucky to seeone.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It was yeah, so that.
But Tom got up every morningand went out and he found
fossils and it was just we gotto see the sunset.
It was just like Martha came.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
So she's going to be thanking you, naomi, because she
came last minute and I'm likenaomi said oh brilliant, that's
fantastic that is fantastic andcarla got to come it was really
good and we got to see uh, aleprosy carrying armadillo okay,
as you would there was anarmadillo hanging around Several
(09:46):
armadillos at night Were therereally.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I have never seen an armadillo.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Oh my gosh, that's what Manny saw when he came home
late at night and he said therewas this big thing and he could
see it and it scurried away.
But Texas.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
there's supposed to be more armadillos in Texas than
anywhere, but we saw morearmadillos when we lived in
Oklahoma than we ever did inTexas.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Wow, well, I'm glad I didn't see one.
I was afraid of Sam Snake,where everybody else stayed.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Were they all good?
Were all the places thateverybody stayed good?
Everybody you know end up nearenough and it all worked out in
that way, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, Like I think Tom and Dory picked up Carol
Megan and took them to theirAirbnb and they stayed there and
chatted a while and it was just.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
They loved Caney.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Caney was just the nicest small town.
What a nice feel it has to it.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, really really pretty, it was absolutely
beautiful.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Oh yeah, Really nice.
The lights over the main streetat night are pretty.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, the zigzag yeah .
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, carol, and I took a quick jaunt down the main
road and took some picturesfrom the middle of the street.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yeah, I'll post those .
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, it was just great, but first Did.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Carol behave herself.
That's between.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Carol and I.
What happens in Caney stays inCaney.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, that's what I thought.
Did your pinky swear on it Of?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
course that's funny, I thought Did your pinky swear
on it?
Of course, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Okay, that's funny and the place I run it.
We had that saying many timeswhat happens in Kenya stays in
Kenya.
But I want to ask Marcia, howis Stephen doing how you been
doing?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
We are doing okay.
Time goes on and you know thereare things that come up.
I would have really loved tosee Linda and Annie when they
drove through Indianapolis, butthe night before I had
discovered that Stephen had aUTI and I had to attend to that
(12:04):
and he was not in real goodshape and not up for company.
But you know, those are justthe things that happen and
that's part of Lewy bodydementia and you all know that
far better than I know it.
But our days are good and we'restill living a good life, curry
(12:26):
, just like you promised.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
But you know, we lead a very quiet life and that's
you know.
That's why one of the reasonsthat this group has been so
important and what Curry hasdone has been so important, and
what you helped him do, linda,has just been a gift to
everybody who has been touchedby it, because it's very
(12:50):
isolating and this helps breakthe isolation.
Yeah, so I'm glad to see all ofyour little faces again.
Hi, carol, it's so good to seeyou.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Yeah, it really is, it's really good to see you.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
It was so good to see you on the video Saturday and
now here, sort of almost inperson.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm telling you, it was like, oh, like everybody.
That was the sound of the wholeroom when the video came on.
It was just very sweet.
And then to end it with TeepaSnow Curry, you were I think you
were really shocked with that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I was.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah.
So it was hard to lie to you,my friend.
Easy, not really hard, but yeah.
But you know I was trying toget your family like, just tell
them I need it to project thepodcast logo on the wall.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I kept asking Lorraine what the hell she need
a projector for.
I don't have any idea.
She just said she needs one.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He just said a bad word Drink up people.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Now I got to edit that out, put a blooper.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Whoops, yeah.
And the biggest strain on Currywas it was like you should have
had a like a North Polebackground instead of that big
sign, because it was likeeverybody was getting their
picture with Santa outside andthen it was well.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
He went out for his bed habit smoke, but them were
like he's been out there a longtime and you'd go out the door
and there'd be like a line ofpeople just waiting to to say
hello to him and I gave him a,because everybody had a lanyard
with their name and I.
I was like I'm just gonna, Iknow people are gonna know you,
but you got to wear your lanyard.
I was like I don't know ifpeople are going to know you,
but you've got to wear yourlanyard, put it on.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah, the only disappointment, curry, was when
Martha and Dory were late.
I had arranged with Jesse to gooutside the building when they
came and inform them that thefire marshal had informed them
that they'd reached the capacityand that they wouldn't be
allowed in.
Had informed them that they'dreached the capacity and that
(15:06):
they wouldn't be allowed in, butyou went out and you took your
entourage to smoke and spoiledit.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It literally was.
And when he would go outsidethe smoke there'd be like all
his peeps, like his would walkoutside with him.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, it was nice, it was a fun day.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Was there serious amounts of those chocolates that
you all liked?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Was there serious amounts of those peanut
chocolates that you guys allliked?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh, I got a bunch of them.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I got a wooden box full of them RC and peanuts.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That's the end of your diet.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah that.
I would have liked the videotoo.
Tracy and Sam were nice enoughto get a box, a really big box,
a wooden box, and spray paint it, and we got a lock for it In
the box.
I put a case of RC Cola, twothings of peanuts, his something
bar zero bars, reese's.
What else was in there, peanuts?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
his something bar, zero bars, zero bars, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Reese's.
What else was in there?
There was something.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The moon pie.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh, the moon pies that I brought from Philadelphia
.
The whole way I had to have icethe whole way for those moon
pies.
So I, after the video, Ipresented them this box and then
I proceeded to shut the box,lock it with the key, and then I
walked the key over to Linda.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Which, by the way, she still holds the key.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I know I was like here's all your treats from us,
but your wife is going tocontrol the key, so yeah, that
was pretty.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
And then Linda put Reese's.
Everybody got a bag and it hadthe NIH pamphlet and a pad of
paper to write down contactinformation and there were four
Reese's in there and that got mehome.
I didn't have to eat theterrible Delta granola bars
(17:01):
because I had those nice Reese's.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Yeah, well, I didn't get any of those.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
No, it was huge across the aisle so I got to
have them all.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So I put a business card and then with the QR code,
so I just thought so it was apurple bag with a purple book,
with a purple pen, with a purplelanyard, with a purple sticker,
so that when you walk aroundand you start meeting people,
people were writing contact andall that stuff.
And then just I know there wasa gentleman, don Kent, there,
(17:30):
and I don't know if anybody's, Iwould look him up on Facebook.
He's a retired lawyer and hiswife is a retired judge.
So they were there and he, youknow he's one of those advocates
you know, with Louis, likeCurry, and he just did anybody
else see the video of him hikingsome trail, like he was?
He showed me this video of himgoing on this hike and and it's,
(17:55):
he said he's picking up thereins from the gentleman who had
Louie for over 10 years thathad passed.
You might know him, corey, Ithink you mentioned his name.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Robert Bowles.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, because he had this.
His theme was ASAP and Ithought it was like, oh, you
live your life, you know, dowhat you want to do as soon as
possible.
But it wasn't.
It was an acronym for somethingelse that I wish I could
remember.
So his name is Don Kent and Iremember watching a video of him
(18:35):
very, very beginning.
I told him that I just don'tremember, but it was just very
sweet.
And there was Kara Colby camebecause she lost her husband
three years ago, and Miriam camewith her son, matthew, so that
she, just like I, was standingoutside the door Next thing I
(18:58):
know I saw this person likejumping over the curb at me and
she was like Linda.
I was like, oh, my God, you'rereal.
You're real.
Like with Tammy.
She was the first one to makeme cry.
I just no.
I just heard you say Linda, andI was like turn around to you
(19:18):
and I was like oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And it was the tears.
It turns out that Carol Colby.
She'd been in the group a longtime and she just lives about 45
minutes from here.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that's what she said.
All right, so ASAP meansacceptance, socialization,
attitude and purpose.
So he goes around and givesthat speech for the other guy
who had passed.
So it was.
Yeah, I, I've tried, like myfriends are saying how did it go
?
And I'm like I don't even,can't even come up with like the
(19:57):
right word to describe it.
I don't know, harry, how wasI'm going to go around and ask
people how was it for you?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh man, I said there were more people there than what
I would even imagine would haveshowed.
And you and the girls, everyonewho worked on putting that
thing together, Manny includedand Jesse and Randy everyone
done good, it was justexceptional.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, I didn't want it to just be.
I kept telling and Tracy willattest to this like we went the
night before to decorate and Iwas like, okay, I want three
tables here and three tableshere and this, this.
And she's like, oh, that's ateacher brain right there.
But I didn't want it to just bewhite tables and chairs, like I
had envisioned that I wanted tolook warm and inviting when
(20:52):
people walked in.
Envisioned that I wanted tolook warm and inviting when
people walked in, so it wasdecorated like autumnal
decorations, but getting to meeteveryone was just outrageous.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah Well, I didn't think to take one.
You know you go to the delihere in the States and you take
a number.
I was like I probably shouldhave bought one of those so
people could take a number totake one.
You know you go to the delihere in the States and you take
a number.
I was like I probably shouldhave bought one of those so
people could take a number to gosee Carrie, because there was a
line.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I would have just marched on top of everyone.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
No, you would.
It was just and you've huggedpeople more than once Like you'd
be walking, like I was makingsure the food was everything.
I'm like, oh, carol, again giveme a hug.
You know, it was just that kindof atmosphere and to be able to
sit and just like I sat acrossfrom Megan I can remember this
and like just this close to meand she's in front of me and
(21:52):
just everybody just went aroundand I think everybody made time
to sit with everybody.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
To sit a spell with everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And, like Linda just said, the only thing that we
really needed and we missed wasa sign-in book.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, curry didn't know who all registered.
You know it was kind of we,just you didn't need to know
that I need seven.
You know gold tablecloths andseven moms and Tracy came to the
rescue and put a bow around.
It was just.
It really was a group effort tomake it happen and you didn't
(22:34):
really need to know the details,those little details.
But his soon-to-begrandson-in-law smoked some of
that bologna that Curry alwaystalks about.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
So I got everybody's attention.
Once the the food line started,I'm like I just want to you
know, give you, let you know.
Over here there's peanuts inthis stuff, so if you have
peanut allergy, be careful.
And then I explained we had um.
What do we don't the?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
only thing about his smoked bologna was he didn't get
crisp enough on the outside andit wasn't wrapped.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And it wasn't wrapped in bacon, right, it wasn't
wrapped in bacon.
But I was like there's salad,there's chicken finger you know
chicken fingers and the bakedbeans are vegetarian.
And you know I was.
You know there's coleslaw.
I was explaining it and thenI'm like and there's some of
that bologna that Curry alwaysdoes, and everyone was like and
(23:36):
I did not turn the baloney downeither like that was the big hit
right there and did you alllike finish at 4 o'clock, or

around 3, I think people, whichwas 4 hours there, you know, and
so there were still peoplethere around 4.30, but what was
(23:56):
good is people knew when theyhit their limit and they would
leave and that was yeah.
So I think two to three waswhen I think I was getting tired
.
So I can imagine people withLouie are getting tired, but I
think everybody's showtime,because I was hoping Curry would
(24:19):
showtime because he hasn'treally slept in a while and I'm
like I really hope you go homeand just don't wake up until
Monday.
But you did, you finally gotsome sleep right?
Yeah, I did.

Yeah, I did, and then we allgot here and snore for a few
minutes.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, you do you have a cute snore.
I, on the other hand, she rapsfor windows, yeah, but Tracy and
Sam drove their RV van to theranch and hooked up, so they got
to spend a lot of time therebecause it was ridiculously big
(24:59):
and that was like my goal wasand I was going to invite Carol
and Megan back, but then Tom andDory wound up staying and
talking with them, which wasgreat afterwards, and I was like
, okay, that's good, it was just, I don't know, very powerful.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It really was yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Because I've been seeing you guys on this screen
for three years some of you andto see it in person, yeah.
So, tom, why don't you explainwhat it meant?
I'm going to just have a couplepeople share their thoughts.
Tom, why don't you explain whatit meant?
Speaker 6 (25:35):
I'm going to just have a couple people share their
thoughts.
Well, it would just, it'd be sohard to say in a few minutes,
it's just so you know you'd haveto say it was surreal and it
was powerful and it wasextremely, extremely moving and
everything was just right.
Everything I mean, like all thepeople involved, all of you
(25:55):

It was just, and the foodCouldn't have been any better.
It couldn't have been any betterand I was.
It was one of the most movingand beautiful things that you
didn't want to end and you knewit had to and it was just, oh,
(26:39):
just meeting the people.
It was that was so surrealbecause it was a, it was a
feeling of meeting them and yet,and yet you already knew them.
You know it's hard to, it'shard to describe for me because
it was just a.
It was like I already know you,I don't need to meet you, but I
get to hug you, I get to hugSharon, I get to hug all you
know Megan and and and and Tracyand Sam and Carol and and Tammy
(27:04):

And then we were lucky enoughto transport Carol and Megan, so
we got to talk.
I shouldn't say that, carol,you got to listen to me in the
back seat for I don't knowseveral hours, but you can say
(27:26):

sweet Emmy.

hours.
