WRG,

D.C. sounds fine - got my vote! I believe most of the local travel
issues can be addressed via Tour buses/vans etc. Also, remote travel is
excellent with Amtrak and three airports including a large Southwest hub
@ BWI and JetBlue @ Dulles.

Regarding Summer, this seems to be the best time for the Reunion - thus
I would vote for early July. This month is usually better than August
for temp/humidity and we might even be able to take in the Fireworks on
the Mall - if we book it right.

Last but not least, I will volunteer to help - even though I live 45
miles west of D.C.

Regards,

Tim Whitney
Warrenton, VA
