(j3.2006) Jackson Hole, WY

[Walt Brainerd]

I think I did my share by setting up the previous reunion in LV
and you should keep bugging Damian or anybody else to try it this time.

But I think it is a great idea to have it and if nobody else is willing,
I might help out a little.

And I think, even it if is an old geezer meeting, we should let a few of
the youngsters attend; they might learn a few things :-).

And I think the whole list would appreciate your mail to me--
so no problems there.
