Hello Allan:

This is off the Benjamin topic, but, Allan, this is the first time
I've seen you send a message to the group since the attack.
Maybe I missed an earlier message from you. Glad to know
you are OK.


To all : I've been holding off on plans for the WRG Reunion
2002 because current events seemed so much more important.
I have not called the Sheraton Inn in Lexington. I was due to
call them on Sept. 15th, but am pretty sure they will
still be happy to host us if the majority thinks we should still
have it. Over the weekend I'll send out on the this list the
names of those who had said they would attend .

Let me or Lyn know if you think we should go ahead with the
WRG Reunion 2002.



from, Carolyn
