Dean,

 

That's great.  I will circulate your information once you send it to me.  I
will plan to attend but prefer to pay my way - my way of supporting your
efforts.  Depending on family matters - I have a sister with complicated
heart problems and more, and her daughter with breast cancer.  I am their
emotional support and driver to get to medical appointmentss as well as for
practical things.  So I'm never quite sure what life will be like on any
day.  But I am excited about your show.

 

Best, Elaine
