[PRCo] Re: Two Items Needing The Attention Of THE LIST

[Herb Brannon]

In my opinion, like it or not, the purpose of a "get together" is not to
view a Cecil B DeMille type extravaganza, or be roped into participating in
a "dog and pony" show. The purpose of a "get together" is human in nature.
It is for the participants to do just what the name implies. To get together
and enjoy each others company. A major production is not necessary.
We will not be able to have a meeting of The List at PTM this year,
according to Ed. They (PTM)  are too busy to accommodate us and Ed thinks we
need the Cecil B DeMille flamboyance and showmanship in order to have a get
together. That's fine with me, I can wait for that. This List Meeting has
always been my idea, right from the start two years ago, and I never wanted
a major production made of it.

I am getting permission from PATransit to tour the South Hills Village
shops. If anyone wants to go with me, let me know. I am aiming for sometime
in early November. We can look at the PATransit facility, ride the current
light rail lines and have dinner. A decent day without making a major
production of it. Again, anyone wanting to go with me, let me know.
