Re: RHCE Plan

["Danny Southard" <southarddanny@hotmail.com>]

I'm located in Troy, Illinois (not far from the O'Fallon library).  I 
remember meeting you during a meeting months ago, but haven't found time to 
make any others due to college courses.  Since I'm on the Internet taking 
classes, it's possible.  I'd love to make it to any and all sessions or 
forms of a "boot camp"--please let me know.
