[Vabs] State Convention

[pajohns1 at vt.edu]

Seville,

        Definately can't argue with the economics of convention location.  I 
haven't been around the NFB long enough to know if there is a "circuit" of 
cities the convention travels or if Dallas is unique because of their 
pricing.

Thanks,

Patrick
