RE: Question about a Public Show

["Hess, Clay A" <clay.a.hess@boeing.com>]

Kathy,

Thanx for the help....~smile~.....I am glad to hear that you would be willing 
to enter fish.  I think that is important, otherwise there is really no point 
in GSAS getting involved with the show I think.  If the members won't 
enter....what is there to gain?

Thanx again,

Clay
