I asked them to pick the dates. I also asked them if they'd prefer to contact Tomoko themselves. I'll let you know. My guess is they'll appreciate you're talking to her. But I asked as a matter of protocol. Also, it whould be good to have the dates before talking to Tomoko. I didn't think to ask what would be comped. I believe it is conventin reg, airfare, and hotel for (5?) roomnights. I'll confirm that for you. How long are we going to hold them in suspense? How bad could the thotel deal be and who is in the wings to sstep in if we turn them down? So many questions. . . . sh --- Karen Randall <krandall@rdrcpa.biz> wrote: > Oops. Forgot.
