Well, Richmond won't be much better, hotel-wise, altho the airport might be OK. If you aren't a Dean Koontz fan, Tish, go to the library and get some of the Dana Stabenow books, esp. the Kate Shugak series....they are great, as well as informative!!! A new one is coming out in another couple of months....we Shugak/Stabenow fans can hardly wait!! To keep things somewhat dog related....Kate has a dog (actually half wolf) who has many GSD attributes........... Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <TISHW@xxxxxxx>> > > I'll be there.
