Thanks for working so hard on this Dave. I still haven't gotten the full details of the wedding I am supposed to go to Saturday (may have to do rehearsal dinner Friday) so I'll RSVP for the other items later.
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Got info in the mail today on the wedding I'm going to the weekend of the gathering. Looks like I should be able to make it to the Friday evening photo shoot after all! manget1 2009-04-27 14:28:31

Richard has a lot of choices for tours on Saturday afternoon.
With our small group, it shouldn't be a problem.
Some might want to go back to spend more time at one of the Thursday or Friday locations.
Or they might want to see something they missed.
