While I do appreciate the spirit of "no descendant shall be left behind" <g>, I also appreciate that an opportunity for SOME people to meet is better than no meeting at all. There is a happy medium somewhere ... but, being new to this list, I should leave that decision to the others who know each other better. For my own part, MA, VT or NH might be good ... Virginia would be ideal (I live there). - Steven W. My usual signature ....
