	Now actually we had a single meeting juit before Delta hit and stopped 
then.  I was there and so was Tom.  I guess you missed that meeting.  We 
had one or two other attendees.

	Since then my physical condition has gotten to the point that
I plan on attending only one more meeting to hand over club property
that I am holding.  I can wait until someone in San Francisco can take
over the job of attending every meeting.

	Though you shared the screen it could not be copied and i did not think 
to do a screen shot.
