Remember to have fun and also if a person looks busy getting ready to fly, wait until he/she is done flying.  This from the old DOC Holliday that doesn't follow what he preaches. LL~ LL~

Hey Andrew, it was great to meet you for the first time.

 I hope you enjoyed coming to the Nats. It is a great place with a lot of great people. I hope that you had a good time while you were here. Byron was a great guy and I think it would have meant a lot to him that you came here in his honor.

Take care

Derek Barry

Next year plan on  the whole week.   You can learn a lot by being there, observing and asking questions.

There are cheaper motels,  I know.   Don't ask about the Dolls House where I stayed one year.   It was quiet thou and no one bothered me.  When I heard the rate for 10 days I asked if it had a bed and bathroom.
