SC - Great Celebration in Atlantia

[Elaine Koogler]

I didn't mean to upset you, my lady.  I just hoped that some on the list would
be intrigued by the concept of the feast and/or would enjoy helping us
celebrate...and would try to come.  If there is anyway you can make it, and you
need a ride from an airport or whatever, let us know and we'll make arrangements
to have someone meet you.  That holds true for anyone who would like to come and
would need to fly in!

By the way, I just found out that I will be out in Palo Alto for a couple of day
snext week.  I arrive Wednesday afternoon, and will be flying out again on
Friday.  Anyone out there up for a dinner or something either Wednesday or
Thursday night?
