[Ag-eq] horse training

Thu Oct 4 17:20:30 UTC 2012

I am currently living in SC.  I am visiting my brother, who rents a place in
Tucson.  We plan on staying for two weeks, late Feb. and early March.  How
far is Tucson from Phoenix?

Liz:

I live in south Phoenix, not far from the airport.  If you are going to be
close and have time we should meet.

February is a great time to visit; the weather should be great.  Where do
you live?
