But seriously folks, my plan is to keep us out of the heart of STL with respect to hotel and like any sizable city, if you don't venture to where you don't know where you are going, you should have no problems.
Now, we are very much in the beginning of this endeavor and as I've said some time ago, I can give more time to this when we send the kids off to college and finally become empty nest parents

(at least for a little while) .
For those of you who were identified as regional volunteers, including oledoc2u (GARY PLEASE ADD HIM TO THE LIST), who have not done so, please send me your preferred email contact information to
erzer@charter.net; I've received them from itsky, Gary (Valkryderguy), Deborah, borhmian, and oledoc2u. While we could use PM, sometimes websites have a habit of not always being available.
In the meantime, everybody needs to be thinking of activities they would like to do; once the end of the month is here, I'll be asking for reps to start gathering input from their regions. We are looking in to drag racing, course/road ralley, and some drives around the area, but keep in mind we only have 3 days identified, so all day trips may not be realistic if you want to do muliple things.
Gary and FP, I will be in Chi-town on business at a Printing Industry Days in September; w/o the car as there is a group of us taking the train up. I'll let you know where I'll be if you want to meet some evening.
All for now.
