This also is the first that I've heard about a breakfast event on
Tuesday morning.

I spent some time with Ms. James from ProQuest on the phone earlier this
spring -- she was interested in talking about plans for
revamping/expanding/improving their Sanborn map product.  Perhaps this
is what the focus group on the 14th will be about.
