You'll probably get more responses the way you've worded your thread, Stephen... "Catters FROM the Midwest," rather than IN the Midwest. There are a ton of us "from" the Midwest I bet. Or at least a couple of hundred pounds worth. I am from Janesville, Wisconsin and come out at least a couple of times a year to visit family. I have a son who grew up out here in Connecticut who moved to Rockford, Illinois, and we go down to visit him, when we come out. We'll be coming out in mid-May and perhaps again in November. We're usually on a fairly tight schedule, so I end up not getting to visit old high school buddies, but if people were getting together and I could plan around it, I might be able to join in for a day..
