[Streetwalker]

This will be a fun weekend, & for a good cuase. Bob told me he will be giving a major brain dump at the seminar.
See you there!

[Jennie@ifish]

I've been asked about Check in times:

Jennie

I was wondering if you had the info on the check in point (when and where) I got signed up late since I am a major procrastinator. I called Bob Rees to sign up and forgot to ask him, and since have lost his phone number. Thought you might have the scoop.

I don't have the scoop! Even though I'll be there, I thought we'd find out Friday night, as usual at these events.

Can anyone help?
Jen

[frankenfish]

John Kitzhaber? Do you think he would mind that I'm a Republican?

[The Greek]

...4PM @ the Bay City Art Center in Bay City. Dinner, music and a talk from Jim Martin will follow.
