Look forward to hearing from and seeing a bunch of you great Gentlemen and Ladies.

I would need those that RSVP to send me another PM for the obvious reasons.

Don,
When do you need those rsvp's by? We are still fighting out the call schedule at work.

Do any of the hotels have a lounge? Or will the meeting last into the evening and the lounge not be needed.

Would it be acceptiable to bring a bottle of bourbon and if so would one also need his own glassware and ice?

Is a pipe going to offend the cigar crowd?

how formal is the dress at the Hill'n Dale?

And finaly how does the size of the crowd look?

Don

Would it be acceptable to bring a bottle of bourbon and if so would one also need his own glassware and ice? Yes It is BYOB no glasses needed

Is a pipe going to offend the cigar crowd? NO I know me and Lynn both smoke and occasional bowl

how formal is the dress at the Hill'n Dale? I do not think at all but that one I am going to ask Bill

And finaly how does the size of the crowd look? Growing slowly

Thanks Don

Thanks

I am flying in from Tulsa, OK and will be staying at the Red Roof Inn both Friday and Saturday nights with a departure at 11:30 am on Sunday. I am going to eat both lunch and dinner at the Hill 'n Dale club. Whatever everybody else wants to do on Friday night is OK with me.

God I really want to go but it is a 17 hour drive or 1200 miles. I used to do 12.5 hour drives all the time but 17... I don't know if I can do that in a day and I can't fly. I think I am going to try but it is going to be a shoe string budget.

This get together is gonna be awesome!! Will from Classic and Tim Zowada are definitely coming in. We should have some great discussion and I am looking forward to getting to meet some more of you guys. Bill, it's gonna be great to get to meet you in person after all these years.

Lynn

I agree Lynn it is going to be cool just to put faces with the names. It is also going to be great meeting you to and I also want to meet Kathy.
