Mr. Gruby has promised(threatened) to do the initial fly in the D.C. area which is where I live. I am throwing this out in advance to all concerned parties. August in this area is bigtime vacation time..rooms expensive, at a premium,etc. I am tossing this out to get somewhat of a feel for when, where , etc. I will be most pleased to do what I can re: economical lodging..possible media coverage, etc......nuff said on my part.....thanx, Bob
