Sam,	

My name is Kenneth Winter.I believe I went to college with Lee and
Gretchen. Please forward this note to them.

If this is the Lee and Gretchen that attended UTM, Kenneth Winter from
Speach class and the outdoors club. The camping area that Sam spoke of
is great.  I was just there with a local MTN bike club. We had a
wonderful time. I had never ridden with 25 people a once.  Please
contact me so we can plan a trip in East TN.  If this is wrong Lee and
Gretchen, still call if you would like to visit East TN. It is always
good to meet new people.
