For those on other lists, sorry for the Ansteorran post.


Greeting friends!

Rapier Reunion II is very close!  8 days!  Eule and I hope to see many of
you there.

A couple of quick notes about the weekend.

This is a mundane party.

If you are planning on camping or crashing at Eule¹s, please RSVP ASAP to
producer at us.ibm.com so Eule can know how many people are staying at his
place.

Please bring water and drinks.  For dinner please bring something to toss on
the grill for dinner for yourself and something to share (side dishes, etc).
There is an HEB about 10 minutes away for those last minute needs.

Please let either Eule or myself know if you have any questions.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
Conner Craig
