[DeTomaso] Convention ideas

[fastgrandma at aol.com]

The first half of June can be bad for a lot of people; lots of graduations going on then and the dates vary.  Earlier was much better which is why Vegas was good; its really gambling (no pun intended) to plan a rally or other events in Reno before June.  In fact, we had a late frost this year after the rally; luckily I was late in getting my garden in!

I'd love San Diego, as long as it wasn't June 5-8.  Actually, any place would be 
good other than June 5-8.   Did I mention I have a commitment June 5-8...?

Sincerely,

Chris
