----------

  If you're interested in attending, please e-mail, let me know if
you have seats available and how many (or if you need a ride), your
home base, a tail number, and an e-mail address.  I received several
queries for rides, and will try to arrange communication between
those with seats available and those needing rides.

  If you're interested in lunch at the Golden Corral, please send
a headcount, and I will make reservations for noon a day or two in
advance.
