[Ohio-Talk] A historic look at Affiliate Convention Sites

Dave,

Maybe! Just maybe! Perhaps you can persuade the president over a bottle that somebody still owes me for. I am not clear as to who that somebody is at this point. As I recall I bought the bottle at your request. Therefore, I expected payment from you. But the president intercepted the bottle before it got to you. Well what can I say after that?

Eric
