[Sportsandrec] Spur of the Moment Tandeming Idea for Detroit

[Christella Garcia]

Hi Everett, I just wanted to respond to part of your message.  This hotel is 
really being picky.  I have been asked by Mrs. Jernigan to not add anything 
without her approval.  I think at this late date it would be difficult to 
get a tandem event added without going through a whole bunch of hoops.  I 
apologize but I have been working on putting all of the extravaganza events 
together, and they will all require every participant to feel out a 
liability waver.  Forgive me, but I have a lot on my plate with the 
swimming, judo, and rowing events.  I honestly think a tandem event would be 
difficult to pull off at this late date. I ask in advance for your 
understanding. Thanks
Chris
