[DeTomaso] FW: We want your opinion

[Will Kooiman]

Having lived in Houston and Miami, I¡¯d have to say the weather is better
over here.  Humidity is lower, rains hard, but not for long.  The weather
resembles typical island weather with a hotter than normal sun, but with a
cool afternoon breeze on most days.  Fire orange sunsets are common.

What about Houston?  Are you still soggy?

>>How about?
>>C.  I support the direction the club is headed, but the President is
