[CC-ARES-RACES] FW: Marine Corps Marathon - October 31!

[Hoyt's]

Tom,
 Thanks for posting this, always a good event. Hope you and Deb had a good time
on the road. Field Day went off well with good weather although I had to miss
it.

On another note, the meeting this Friday should be a good one with the
presentation from the Sheriffs Department. I have already invited the Calvert
County folks and we should have a good turn-out.
