As far as I know, you, me, Laurie Davis and Lynn Ploof-Davis are going. I
don't know of any other SSS folks going, do you? There isn't much time to
visit. We could certainly thank them for supporting our UB programs, but
also Karen just e-mailed me about an EOC situation. I'll forward it to you.
That's certainly something else that needs to be brought to their
attention.
