Writing in response to Kay's note. I am one of the newest of the *79* thanks to Betty. I am part of the Torfoot Brownlees that has grown through Washington Co., PA. I think that one of the purposes of maintaining our group is to support each others' ideas and to organize our interests and efforts. To that end, I believe that organizing a year 2000 trip would be outstanding. And now is the time to begin organizing such a trip. Trip schedule, accomodations, local arrangements, media coverage, and attendees all take considerable effort to coordinate. I am willing to stand up and volunteer my time to organize or assist in the organization of such an event. Is there anyone else with planning experience? I look forward to hearing from you all.
