Asheville NC --Hooligans and Hiking --Oct 6

[Barclay]

And Barclay,

Have fun. We'll miss you in TN. I'll send you a group photo.

Thanks, Heath - I'm sorry, I just can't do all the driving (since I'll be returning from a week in Cincy / Indianapolis on the 5th and leaving on vacation on the 7th). I really want to be there, but the funds and the 6 hour drive make it difficult. What if I promise to make the AGM in 08, regardless of location? I was really looking forward to seeing you and Lisa, too...and to seeing your dad in his brand new kilt!

I'll take you up on that. I'd like to choose a venue of one of the commissioners that's traveling this year. And if Ralph wears his dress trews, I'll make sure we get a picture.

As for the fall tourist stuff, I'm afraid that because of the extreme drought we've been in, I don't know if we'll have a fall color show this year. Around here I've seen large trees with brown leaves and some leaves are already beginning to drop.

Same here. Lots of brown leaves. The Sourwoods are looking good, however.
Tourist dollars are good for the economy, but certainly bad for the blood pressure if you need to get anywhere on time.

I may be able to make it up for the tour of the brewery.
I am sure I can make it for
Dinner at 6 at the latest,
I will know a little more the closer we get to that date.

That's great, Nelson! And drag a few friends along with you. I'd hate for them to arrange a special tour and only three of us show up!
