I've P Md and talked to one or two of my Brothers and Sisters here and I have been lax in letting EVERYBODY know-I will NOT be in attendance in Roanoke.

I am smack dab up against the very situation that our dear Departed R J was-NO Way NO How to carry enough cylinders with me. AND NO way NO how to relay them or refill enroute-liability issues doncha know!

It Pains me greatly that I will NOT be there with the very folks that make up the fabric of this board. Wanted to meet Serk and shake that young mans hand but it are not too be. AND my own personal health issues be catchin up with me. Specially in the heat and the humidity. Ah well least ways I still be walkin ON da lawn and NOT part of the lawn!

RIDE SAFE.
