<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">JC, I like your thinking. I'll contact Vasa and see what they say, and let's touch base on Wed with a conference call. I've also seen forecasts that say next weekend will be good, and also that it might be bad. One name to include in the meeting Wed is David Taylor, who will be bringing the trailer down from my mom's place in Sammamish. Jeff Jacob should also be included, I think.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Ann Romeo<br>Personal email: <a href="mailto:annromeo@gmail.com" target="_blank">annromeo@gmail.com</a></div>
