Greetings, All, Next week, we'll all be meeting in Utah, once again, for our upcoming Western Gathering. They've had snow at the higher elevations, so nights should be chilly, if not down-right cold. Please plan accordingly, and bring lots of warm blankets and proper clothing, as well as food that w...

Please keep us posted as to how it worked, or will work, when you do get to use it. Take ...

Every Good Wish,
Mark
