	Pub 99 in Hudson works for me (right down the hill)! I'm up for either
day, but prefer a friday...


	chico

    
    	Either day is fine and the 99 sounds good too.  How many people
    	are expected? If there's a lot, you may want to move it to the
    	American Lobster!
    
    	>M<

    Actually Piccadilly just down the street seems to be the other option
    to the 99..I'd rather not go to Marlboro for the A.L.
    
    Jt

Any of the above places are along my way home. I'll try to make it if my
schedule lets me. I'll be finishing up here about then.

CM

    Those two days sound MUCH better than the original date of the 24th! 
    I'd be DEAD tired that day (working at the Bolton Fair all day).
    
    Any of the locations will be good too.  Just remember that Bob and I
    will probably be a LITTLE late because he doesn't get out of work until
    5:30. 
    
    Holly
    

	I'll be in Newport, R.I. that week.  Isn't that supposed to be the same
time Mark and t. are up here?


As usual, I'll be there in spirit with you!

Hugs,
Lola    

    Do Mark and t have definite plans?  That would be just wonderful!
    
    Jt

    
    No, Mark and t. have nothing set in stone yet.  I am about to
    drop them a note, thanking them for the WONDERFULL cookies they
    sent me, so I will mention the dates to them.  I will try my
    darndest to be there myself also. :*)

    A bit off the topic, but....
    
    Lola don't forget to get in touch with me for tips on fun things to see
    and do in my home state! :)
    
    /jen
    

    Another "a bit off the topic".  Terrie, do Mark and t. have a net
    address?  Do you have it?
    
    H

    
    
    No Holly, I'm afraid they don't.
    
    
    :(
    

    If anyone is willing to give us a ride, Mrs. Mallo and myself are able
    to join the party ;-)
    Would be nice if Mark and Theresa are in the area and able to join us.

    in and check here later.
    
    Back to vaaction
    Jt!

I thought that was what happened last thursday when I wasn't able to make it...
I'm so confused... Yes, I can make it this week on thursday. At least I'll get
to see a few of you one more time (since it isn't Kimbal's weather this week)

CM

    
    
    JT, I'll be there 
    
    Rich
    

    I'm hoping to be there as well, just got to confirm that someone can
    pick up Shane at Pre-School for me and keep him for a few hours.
    
    Lori

    
    HI!
    
    Just to clear up some of the confusion!  Last Thursday's gathering was
    for Tracie Baker (ex-DECCie ::FRIEND) and another friend that were
    visiting from England.   
    
    This Thursday's is for Charles and his wife visiting from the
    Netherlands.   We couldn't get a date that was good for all so we had
    to go for two dates....for twice the fun! :)
    
    /jen
    

	I may be able to make it...have to check the schedule with the wife...:)


chico

    JT...Please include me too! I'll be there -- Terrie, please remember 
    					 	 the pics??? :>
    
    /Bob

    >have to check the schedule with the wife....
    
    	Sounds like chico is a bit under the thumb to me... ;->>
    
    	Rick.

    JT - I'm not going to be able to make it this evening. :-(
    
    Lori 

    
    
    	re: .22 Mack
    
    	hehe...ain't we all Mack? ;*) Hey, she puts up with my hobbies and
    I put with being where she wants me (most of the time)...;*)
    
    
    chico

    
    Joyce,
    
    I'll be there.
    Kristy sends regrets...can't make it.
    Seth hopes to be there...but works in Boston so will be later.
    
    /jen
    

    
    OH...and I think you already knew.  Joann hopes to stop on her way home
    from work...but can't stay too long cuz she has to pack!
    
    /jen
    

    
    
    I'll be there with bells on!  :*)
    
    
    Oh Bob, I can't bring the pictures cuz I never finished using the roll
    of film.  I'll finish it up tonight, and get it all developed over the
    weekend.  I'll bring the piccies to Kimball's on monday.
    
    
    
    Terrie
    

    Terrie, 
    
    	Why that means.... I'LL HAVE TO EAT ICE CREAM AGAIN! - if I 
    want to see the pictures.
    
    Well, er, a, OKAY! - By god, I'll do it!! 
    
    Thanks,  :>
    
    /Bob

    
    
    Does anyone anticipate still being at the 99 about 7:30 - 8:00
    tonight ?  
    
    RICH
     

I probably won't get there until about 5:30 myself. I might be convinced to stay
that late with the right company... 8^)

    
    	Well, depends on when I can break the chains here, I won't
    	make it for 5:00, that's for sure.  Well, I left here at 9:00
    	last night, I could probably slip away about 7:30 myself, putting
    	me there at 8:00  *IF* there's anyone still there.  
    
    	I wasn't going to go only because it was going to be too late,
    	but, well, now, I just might!!!!  
    
    	(Let that read:  I NEED A BREAK!!!!!)
    
    	;^)
    
    	>M<

    
    
    I have to go out to Belchertown after work ( their town fair is
    this weekend and I have some items to exhibit) and I will come
    back to the 99 after. 
    
    >M<, see you there :-)))
    
    Rich
    

    Well, it actually looks like I WILL be there for a little while.  My
    arthritis is acting up BIG time because of the weather, but I'll be
    there for a short time.  Bob will show up when he's done doing what he
    needs to do for the insurance.  However, we can't stay long.
    
    Thanks CM for picking me up here in OGO! (-:  HUGS!!
    
    Holly
     

Holly and I should get there about 5:30. Hope to see lots of people there, one
more time...

CM

    I was plkanning on meeting folks about 5:30 - 6:00 so we should still
    be there around 7:30
    
    c'Ya tomight
    Joyce

    
    Joyce....do you know which side?
    
    /jen
    

It was great to see/meet everyone last night. It was also great to see the look
on Holly's face when she "ran into" a recent aquaintance 8^)

Done at lunchtime today

Been fun... send mail to the address in my PN when fun things happen!

CM

    
    	Oh,Guys,Gals.... pleeeeeeeeeeeez forgive me for not going
    	last nite.  I worked until 9:00... I couldn't get out.. :^(
    	I was ready to leave in time, but something came up and I was
    	unable to get out...
    
    	I really really really really wanted to be there too.I know that
    	I promised to be there... and I apologize for it.
    
    	Please forgive!!!
    
    	I hope to see some of you tomorrow night at the Lobster in
    	Marlboro!  (Chris is anxious to see a lot of you too!!!)
    
    	I'm sorry!
    
    	>M<

	sorry I wasn't there too folks! Went and got my haircut after work. As
much as that sounds like a small thing, it took the guy over 1hr to cut my hair
(not my usual barber)! Guess he hasn't done a flat-top in a while...;*)


chico

    
    
    Well, I had a great time last night!
    Charles waiting to see what I looked like was great!
    At least I don't look like what he thought after
    hearing my voice on the phone the night before.  He
    says a sexy phone voice usually means an ugly woman. :*)
    
    And Holly's recent 'run in' was a nice guy.  Ken, who's 
    girlfriend's name is not Barbie, :*) owes me a peticure
    once a week for the next year, and is gonna sue Holly 
    and Bob for....what was the last ammount decided on?  It
    kept going up with each beer he drank. :*)
    
    A certain 'video tape' will be burned....
    Photographs of the bartender will be up for sale unless
    I can bribe him with the negatives! :*)
    
    Charles and his wife are wonderfully nice folks!  I really
    enjoyed chatting with them!
    
    Thanks to Jt for hosting such a fun party!
    
    Terrie
    

It was great a time last night seeing all of you again. Thanks to
J_T for getting it together. I really enjoyed talking with Charles and
Tjitske. Our world seems a bit smaller now. 

I only wish we snapped a picture of Holly when Ken showed up! :>  
A real Kodak Moment, it was!

Cheers

/Bob

I was facing Ken at the time and the recognition was priceless...

Speaking of priceless, I'll stick with the video tape... I can always get a
picture of a bartender 8^)

>M< and Chico were missed. I wish I had been able to see you two to say au
revoir. Our paths will cross again, I'm sure.

CM (less than 2 hours left)

	Don't you worry CM....we'll see each other again. This business ain't
that big...:*)
