[TCARC-NTx] Meeting Minutes, January 2003

[Gerald Buxton]

I clearly noted "motion to destroy", don't know why I would have made that up.
 Anyway, the club has the chance to amend the minutes during the reading at
the next meeting.

Which by the way, I won't be able to attend.  BNSF celebration of success is
Saturday night February 1, so Shura and I will be there with the rest of the
work gang.  Please consider to take along a copy of the minutes and find a
volunteer secretary!

Jerry
