[jstrong499 at charter.net]

Hey Mike! give us GPS fellows some cordinates to the field when you get a chance. 
 Good seeing everyone this past weekend, and for those wanting to taste the SPA ( Senior Pattern Association) we're having our first SPA in Prattville Al. this weekend. 
  BTW !! Thanks for giving me the 6th round this weekend :).
