I think that others , including those who do not suscribe to Rovernet, need
to realize what Dirk has just offerred. It is normally hard to even find a
place for such an event; let alone the amenities he mentioned Those in the
New England area should certainly begin discussions, to see how they could
work together with Dirk to make this offer a reality and a truly
nwonderful event. James Dean
