As a new guy, I would just love an opportunity to spend time with everyone.

     I agree Coy!

     How about having BOTH W1AW/5 Oklahoma coordinators talk about their
     experiences this year? Maybe with some PowerPoint slides, photos, etc.?

     Gene,

     I did't want to hear that we aren't going to have a banquet.
We don't need
     a speaker to have the banquet. We have enough talent that you could
charge
     some folks with telling their favorite dx stories or adventures.
