Well next year in Dallas I will be Marching there with you all.
I listened to the Banquet last night and Dr. Maurer's speech was a riot
about the vibrating vest. I am sure it will be in the braille Monitor.
Hopefully people who sign up will actually raise money next year.
I will again start as soon as they announce it.
Be there or be square.
Take care. Oh that number might go up a little bit Marion, David Stayer
brought more money for me.
