Hello Marsha,
Thanks for the email. Th reason was my server was down.
Yes, it was nice to see you at COA. I look forward to next year as well.
You say you have not been to Florida before. I come from S. Africa and I have
been there about 4 times already. Something strange about that.
Which State do you come from ?
best regards,

brian
