I understand exactly what you're saying. And, in
hopes to have been some help, I spoke with my contact
at First American Bank yesterday. She told me that
the facilities that they have in Norman couldn't be
made available after hours as their entered from
within the bank itself...
HOWEVER, they have a lovely community center building
in Purcell that they might be able to work something
out with us if the good folks of Namron were willing
to make a drive...
Also, regarding the VFW idea, we have veterans in our
organization and my Bjorn is a member of the Maysville
American Legion. Do we have any members of either
organization living in the Norman Area that would be
willing to check on the availability of such? If not,
let me know and I'll be happy to make a few calls and
see if my beloved Bjorn's membership can be of use to
us.
Lastly, the weather sure is getting pretty
again...mayhaps we'd be able to meet OUTSIDE at
Andrews for a wee bit? That might give us a bit more
time.
Please let me know how I might best be of service in
this or any need of our Barony.
In service,
