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

How is the Homeshow coming along?  Any idea of how many folks we may be
dealing with for the show?

Also, I would be happy to help out at the Auction again in April as
usual....and I told Diane I would be Happy to pick up any items they
feel they cannot get to the meeting.
