Mark EvansOk. It looks like we have about a dozen folks interested in catching up. Names and locations (where provided) are Tom Botticelli (Fairfax), Andy Cook (Fairfax), James Feagin (Columbia), Ken Cohen (Alexandria), Ray (Capitol Hill), Bob Lamb, Alan (Rockville?), Brad Green (Chantilly), Bruce MacPherson (Falls Church), Mike, Don Johnson and Larrie Dean.
First off, let's move further discussion to private e-mails -- no need to burden (entertain?) the board with our efforts to get together. Once time and place determined, I will post it so that anyone interested can attend.
Next, suggestions include catching up in conjunction with the Tyson's Corner or Chantilly shows. This may make good sense. While I'm retired with no kids at home and look forward to getting out for special events, I realize that not everyone is in the same boat and others might find it more convenient to meet in conjunction with a show. If Tyson's, perhaps we could catch up in hotel bar/restaurant after the show. If Chantilly, then Willard's Barbecue might do the trick; in this case, we would need to decide which day of the show to meet -- Friday (lunch prior to show?), Saturday (presumably after show) or Sunday (presumably after show).
So, why don't each of you e-mail me with your preferences as to meeting in conjunction with Tyson's show, Chantilly show (include day preferred), or separate occasion. If the majority prefer the latter, I will follow up to get your preferences as to weekday evenings, weekends, location, etc. In that event, those who have not advised of where you live should probably do so.
I look forward to hearing from you. Mark mevans113@cox.net
