Paddy Graber won't make it this time - his doctors won't let him travel. Otherwise, he's feeling fine, but disappointed that he'll have to miss it this year.

So that brings it down to Bob (Deckman), myself and perhaps Francy. Any others? I heard they had over 50 registered at least several weeks ago. The limit, I think is 100. Even though the stated deadline was Jan. 10th, I think you can still register up until a week before, when they they have to tell the caterers how many people to expect.

Is Fred Maslan out there? Fred, can you respond and tell us more? Fred is one of the organizers.
