The primary reason for my trip out East is to close out the estate of my Mom-in-Law. We will be meeting with relatives and hopefully seeing the Grandson who is scheduled to return from Iraq in late July.

Other reasons for the trip include introducing Tabea, our German seamstress to the US. She has never visited and only knows what she has seen on TV.

We will also be traveling up to Philly to meet with more relatives and visit with Rocky and Kelly.


My tenetive schedule runs something like this;

Fly to DC on or about the 14th of Aug. We will be staying out in Mannassas, VA.
It would be great to meet any X markers in the DC area too. (Anybody up to meeting in DC for a kilt walk down the Mall?)

In the Philly PA,/Trenton, NJ area the week-end of the 18th.

Back to VA and fly home around 25 Aug.

I hope to be able to meet with as many X Marksers as possible so if you have some free time and would like to get together, send me an e-mail at;
