[FARC] Hike Across MD & MOD Walk Ops Needed!

[Herb Palm]

Jeff.

Talked to Mark this morning.  We both will be available for the March of 
Dimes walk.  I, however, will not be able to participate in the "Hike 
across Maryland due to an earlier commitment.  That is the day the 
Walkersville Southern RR has it's opening day for the season and I 
committed to be there.
