Re: August Trade Show

**"* H* <g*@charter.net>**

Hi Jo Ellen,
Calling Lisa will take care of everything.  Obviously, Clint has dropped the 
ball, big-time.  I doubt if there will be a reception for garden writers. 
Yes, I'm going to the PW reception.  It's at the same hotel where I'm 
staying.  I'm taking the train in on Tuesday, the 19th, so I can hear the 
Kansas concert and take a quick tour around the trade show.  Will do my main 
viewing on Wednesday and attend a couple of the workshops.  Will leave for 
home on Thursday morning.  Hope to see you.
Doreen
