[MRCA] MRCA at MTA

[Rob Flory]

Al, Dale,

I may have to work on Saturday.  Do you think it would be feasible for me to unload my gear Saturday night or Sunday AM for display on Sunday?

I would bring my TBX.

BTW Al, I have a bunch of youtube from our last mini meet that might make good linkage from MRCA page.
