[Scan-DC] Possible Scan-DC Get-Together This Sunday

[Doug Kitchener]

I plan to be at the park below at around 12:30; will be driving a black Impala, not the current generation but one generation old (ie 2001).  I have a cell phone but it's the kind that makes telephone calls... if you want the # email me and I'll send it privately... will also send it shortly to those who I'm guessing may be there.  Not sure how we're going to meet up at this point; I guess I'll hang around the car in the parking lot until somebody shows up.

Hope you can make it!

Doug
