[ADXA] Thought comments for today.... since so little DX is on to chase

Tue Feb 22 09:48:21 EST 2022

One thing I've noticed about ADXA members, over the past couple of years
I've been involved, is that sometimes it takes a "family" for some of us
ancient travelers to remember all the facts correctly.  I've seen this
happen a few times where several guys will get together and finally resolve
a date/activity when more than one active brain cell is being used -- MINE
INCLUDED.
