<VV> WC: End of an Era

[greg scarboro]

Hello all, I have an extra bed in my room at the host hotel in Springfield
if anyone is looking to stay at the Crowne Plaza. The room is reserved
Tuesday thru Friday night. It will be half the $99 rate and my snoring is
free. Also if anyone needs a navigator for the rally or econo run I am
available---Thanks, Greg Scarboro--Lexington, Ky 859-396-6648
