Thought I'd pass along this exchange that occurred yesterday between Phil and myself. Phil is from Seattle originally and has family here, so his transportation and lodging plans may be somewhat different than the usual guest speaker itenerary. I'll forward his reply when it comes in.
Also, we will need to fine tune the "before the meeting" dinner with Tom Watson on the 14th, a week from next Tuesday. He likes Thai.

Our meetings officially start at 7:30 PM but the doors open at 7:00 and some of us get there earlier than that, like 6 or 6:30. We meet at Weter Hall, on the Seattle Pacific University campus which is located in what I would call the Upper Queen Anne neighborhood.We would like to extend an invitation for a "before the meeting" dinner to you if your schedule permits.There is a good Thai restaurant near the campus, and if you would prefer something other than Thai there are other restaurants near the campus.In the past we have always left it up to our visiting speakers to make their own flight arrangements, that way they get exactly what they want. Of course we pay the airfare, and we can arrange for someone to meet you at the airport if necessary. Normally our treasurer either writes a check to cover the flight costs at the meeting or mails it out the next day, but I'm sure other arrangements could be made if necessary. We can assist with flight arrangements if you would prefer.Talk to you soon...Bob At 09:07 AM 9/1/2005 -0400, you wrote:Bob,How are you doing? I hope all's well in the Northwest. Thanks to the mountains to our west Charlotte missed the fun from Katrina's remnants. All we got was some unusually tropical air and some above average winds.I was talking with my brother the other day and he was asking what time I'll be coming in and I realized I didn't know. Has anyone been able to make travel arrangements for October yet? Could you please tell me a little more about what time your meetings start and end?I look forward to hearing from you, Phil
