Hi Ron,
Let me know what kind of interest you get for having it up in PA. I knew
that Tom F. wasn't going to have the party this year, and I was considering
having it ay my place - which is about 2 miles from Tom's house. I gotta
long driveway and plenty of room in the house to hang out.
Oh, and we were calling them the "Mid-Atlantic Holiday Bus Fests". For those
of you who are not familiar with the parties, have a gander at:
http://volksweb.relitech.com/forhan.htm
for some of the details.
Since you were first out with your plans, I would only host if you don't.
Lemme know when you know,
TomC
