[PROPOSED MEETING - ADDRESS TO FOLLOW]

[Kevin Brammer]

Phil,

I've been a member of LUAU for a couple of years now, although mostly on the 
mailing list.  I was in the military also, and can understand your 
constraints on attending meetings.  The meetings are for anyone - beginner, 
intermediate, or advanced.  The topics sometimes are pretty involved, but you 
learn a lot no matter what your skill level.

I'm glad to see the list getting busy again, and hope the meetings get more 
attendance also.  Now that I'm a civilian (woohoo!), I hope to attend more.

BTW, my vote for name change - no.  

Aloha,

Kevin
