(I meant to send this under this topic before my last post)

Congrats Bob and Moni!!! If I could be in Battle Mountain instead of
swamped in my "real" job with the Processing Tomato Advisory Board (done
late October) I'd be one the ground with everyone. Drat that I can't. Soon
to resume painting TSs and hunting with new friends....

Good Fortune to all who are there!!!

-Richard "Rick Bob" Montgomery
