[MRCA] 15 Years of the Gilbert Meet

[Al Klase]

Hi Ray,

I know you could camp in the area shown on a first-come basis.  We could 
also likely control the narrow space just north of the Howell building.



I'm not sure how the area near the restrooms is controlled.  Perhaps 
KW1I, as our Red Ball representative can answer that.

I would be supportive of a Friday-night cookout, if someone else take 
the lead on it.

73,
Al
