Re: "Communications for lack of a better name."

To AIS discuss: I have been following, with great interest, the  
discussions among Anner Whitehead, Brad Kasperek, and others. I'm  
extremely busy right now, but I hope to express the opinions of

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you.
Sincerely, Steve Blecher RVP Region 20
