[AT] Portland Workday

[Gene Dotson]

    Thanks Bear. I know all of you appreciate the hospitality we
all share. It is always a pleasure to see all of you who make
the long trip just to share these good times.
    Hard to believe diesel fuel is so expansive, especially in
texas where so much is produced. I have seen it posted here as
high as $2.419. I was able to fuel up on the way home Saturday
for $2.199 and was glad to get it. Mostly posted here at $2.299.
    Look forward to seeing you in August.

            Gene

: Like Farmer, I want to thank you for helping Tri State with
the workday.
: Many of the ATIS family enjoy the great reception we get at
Portland and  it would not be as much fun, if we were not all
camping together in " our spot" each year.  If 1200 miles and
$225 diesel did not stand in my way, I would have enjoyed the
fellowship and helping out.  We all appreciate what you do as
wagon master to make our Portland trip enjoyable.  Sure wish I
could do the spring swap--I could load a pretty large trailer
with "good stuff".

: After this summer wedding, I just hope I have enough cash left
to be there  come August.  With the good Lord's blessing, I hope
all the regulars will be around the Dotson fire and more of you
will find time to attend and join this circle of great friends.
