[OKDXA] Rovers

[Jerry Chouinard]

Dave, PMP, HMZ and DLL:

I didn't know they made passenger vans that big.

Sounds like a good route.  Somebody out west needs to warn the folks you
guys will be in the area starting on Friday evening.  There's still enough time
to get the word out to them.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling.
