RE: Notes from tonight's meeting

["Hess, Clay A" <Clay.Hess@PSS.Boeing.com>]

Hello Out There,

Just a little heads up for all of you, and I am hoping that someone will 
volunteer to stand in for me at the November meeting as I will be in Puerto 
Vallarta on a beach that night.  I will miss the fun at the meeting...but, not 
the rains.....~smile~.  See ya for the Board Meeting, just let me know if the 
location or time changes.  Have fun!

Clay
