All participants - you created the magnificent spirit!

The Committee wants to thank all of you:

The Leonard Cohen Event was an experience we never are going
to forget, and we hope that many of you share the feeling with us.
This was the first meeting of its kind, put together entirely on-line.
The committee members had not met face-to-face, and had no
permanent contact person in Montreal!

Thank you, everybody. Maybe we will have another sunny Event
weekend sometime in the future, somewhere. Meanwhile, we have
collected some of our memories on these pages for everybody to read.

The Committee laughing - it's all over and it worked!
