RE: Final Kanc. Letter

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Looks like Sunday is better for me, too. My sister-in-law from Seattle
is flying in on bidness Friday night, with us Saturday, flying home
Saturday night. I'd like to hang around while she's in town, and go
Sunday (contrary to my earlier posts).

I spoke to Tim Reilley yesterday, he'll be with us in spirit. His
fiancee is making one of her less frequent than either would like visits
to Tim in Maine, so they'll be *otherwise* occupied.

Please let me know if the plan is for Sunday. Sounds like Paul will be
there Sunday, who else? I will get final OK from my better half, and be
at the likker store north of the tolls Sunday at 9:30. Anyone want to
convoy up from the south?
