[Sportsandrec] Missing the Usual Suspects and a note for NashvilleRiders

[Lori M. Miller]

Kelly,

So awesome that you're going to the camp. Hope you can post all about it. 
There is wireless access in the rooms and then up at the athletes center 
there are computers that can be used. I don't believe there is screen 
reading or screen enlargement software on them, but System Access should 
work.

And, if you like Tomatoe Basil salad dressing they have the best!

Yes, the TN group is awesome. I met up with several folks from the group 
last year and I'll bet you'll meet some of the same folks. I had given Joe S 
from this list the name and contact for one of the pilots but I've never 
heard if it worked out.

And, sport that pink!

Lori
