suppliers at Rochester

[Bob Hull]

Greg and John,

My flight is already booked and I am going mainly for
the classes but I also learn a lot from the exhibit
area and well stocked tool suppliers.  

If the PTG had made it known that the major usual tool
and supply houses would not be present it would have
possibly impacted registration numbers.  This is now
going to put a damper on things.  A few years ago
didn't Renner notify us that they wouldn't be present
due to the holiday conflict?

If they did have to pay NY and Rochester sales tax it
would still be better than not seeing the products at
all.
