20 Jun 14 - 10:25 AM (#3634931) Subject: RE: June/BarryFinnMem.ShantySing@PressRoomNH From: Bat Goddess Mary, I'm beginning to think we'll both need to wear some distinguishing flower in our lapels to recognize each other! It's been way too long. Let me know if there is a good time when you'll be "receiving" (perhaps with Kendall and Jacqui...Deb...) and I'll aim my car to South Portland. Gawd, I miss you and the rest of the contingent! Linn |
