Convention Through July 4th!/David M. Porritt

[Z! Reinhardt]

You lucky dog!  I too would love to have gone into DC but was tied up in
Council until it was too late to get near the Mall.

Joe is right in another post -- July 4th is a time to be with family and to
celebrate the country.  I did manage to catch a little suburban display in
Vienna with a cousin and his family, and I remember counting myself lucky to
have family in the area that year.

Now ... does anyone know if we will be given the chance to celebrate the
4th, Texas style?  Or will we be at the mercy of a hotel in a nobody's-land?

Just curious..... we are thinking of not going to the Dallas convention
because
we cant go shopping on the 4th of July ??

I know I enjoyed being in Arlington for that... went into DC and just had a
cozy old time sitting under Lincolns glance. Hadnt been their since I was 9
years old.
