Doug, please remember that Neil ("FromDayOne") was there on "Day 1", and after 44 years he (and many others) are probably pretty comfortable with the name as it is.

But it was a good thought and a good suggestion just the same.    ;)

Do you think you'll be there?    It would be good to see you!!

Also, we now have an official web "site" for the event:

     http://ushawks.org/otto44

Please feel free to post that link on other sites and forums, and feel free to copy the graphics there to post or print or include in newsletters. It's time to start getting the word out. I'd like to thank Phil S. (BigBird) and Neil L. ("FromDayOne") and Joe Faust for continuing input in making this happen.

Actually I was planning on just bringing a Skein of Yarn and acting as the official tether 'anchor" to commemorate activities at the first Otto Meet & the official "Excuse" given to the F.A.A. by Mark Lambie, who by the way, will be unable to attend......
