[Snowball] Snowball

[Jeramy Ross]

Hello Bill and Bry,

I'm sorry for your XYL's health issues Bill, and I hope it is nothing too
serious.  May she have a speedy recovery!!

I have no issue with organizing a few groups and getting the ball a
rollin'.  Send me the master list and I'll get right on it!

Is everyone ok with groups of 6?
If I remember correctly... on Lloyd's snowball... we tried to implement a
minimum time at any particular QTH of 3-4 days.  I.E.  each person would
have 3-4 days to dig through the ball, take what they need, add to the
ball, and send it off to the next person on the list.  Does that sound
reasonable to folks?

Any other ideas, rules, etc.?

Thanks and 73,
Jeramy W5XTL
