Hi Joan: I remember the note, and I'm in favor of the idea. I do realize the problem of location. Robert, Ken and I are not too far apart, but I do think I would want to look hard at the MA area, if it is possible to find accommodation outside central Boston (in Middlesex county, perhaps?) that would be reasonable in cost. Everyone would have to decide for themselves if the transportation cost was bearable -- I know I would drive from here on the Eastern Shore of MD -- I can make it in one long day, I think, especially if I can find a fast way around NYC. Let's keep the idea going, and think some more about possible times. I would expect it would be across a weekend, sometime in the warmer months so drivers would not be troubled with snow or ice. I do know that us retired folk have more flexibility on timing than those still working, so we'll try to accommodate others needs. Nice to see the idea surface again. I've been pretty inactive lately, with some health problems (chronic sinusitis) and a death in the family to deal with. I hope to get back to work before too much longer. Happy Hunting to all.
