She'd certainly be a Coup.
I can recall two other times we flew someone in, Rich Jaikel and I think the
oard authorized $200.00, and Don MAacholz. Not Sure what that one cost. Any one?
I presume that if can land Ms Proco, she'd be coming from Pasadena, with enough
advance notice we should be able to secure a pretty good fare.
Thanks for your hard work Jenn. I appreciate the quality of Speaker you get.
