[Troop139] This Weekend's Troop Trip to the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, NJ

[BEATTIE JR., GORDON]

Diana,
Thanks for your thoughtful offer!  Drop offs will not work.  We need to be able to move between two sites during our visit.  I think we have enough drivers anyway.  

We won't know if we are visiting Glenmont, Mr. Edison's home, until we get there and find out if tickets are available.  If we don't go to Glenmont, then our trip is only going to be about 2 hours in the laboratory.

Thanks!

Hi,

I sent you a text (i think).  I can drive down on Saturday and take Sergio
+2 (I will have Steph with me).  I will drop you all off at the site and
then run some errands that I have in that area and return for pick up and
drive home.

Let me know if this works OK for you.

Diana
