[vcf-midatlantic] The TI Mini I rescued

[Douglas Crawford]

Let me run this past the Steering Committee before we

Its all about priorities of course.

In the mean time, I'll just take a look over the
warehouse closer and check in with Kelly
and add this to my active Museum and Warehouse projects.
