Re: [AGA-sc] [AGA-Member] AGA 2006 Convention now open for registration

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Hi Larry,

If you are going to try to get the rate for him, can you also try for 
another 2 rooms?  One for Ole and Troels, and one for me.  We were thinking 
of coming in on Tues. or at latest Wed. before the conference.

Thanks!

Karen
