[PRCo] Re: A LIST CONVENTION

[Fred Schneider]

Now this really get's tricky .... I would not have expected someone  
from Las Vegas to show an interest.   Perhaps Mark McGuire and Ken  
Josephson should pick the date to tell the rest of us because they  
need to come the farthest?   Holland, where are you.    Just please  
don't pick one when I'm not there ... please don't pick late June,  
July or October.
