[nagdu] First State Convention

[Larry D. Keeler]

Mary, I'm thinking that Margo didn't change her name to Gargo but, who 
knows!  After all, we had a lot of fun in Dearborn!  You did great!  And, of 
course, us federationists always help one another!  Even with the shew-shew 
that ends up on the shoe shoe!!  Actually, Holly did well on that stair 
thing.  It was me that got kind of confused!  Hope we have many other 
conventions!  Also, Mary, you could write me offlist or not.  Maybe we would 
all be interested.  I have a friend who is interested in what Felix does in 
regards to ballance.  And, is that the only school that teaches guide work 
with balance work as well?
