[AT] Portland Work Day

[charliehill]

Thanks Gene,  I sure wish I could go.  Unfortunately I still work for a 
living and most years at that time I just can't get away.  So far this year 
work is too slow and if things don't change I won't be able to afford to go 
and that is even worse.  Maybe one day I'll get there.

Charlie
