Doug,

Practical place, yes. Physical place maybe. Again I want to take this
discussion offline.

I didn’t mean to sound heartless. I care about them and remembering them. I
apologize if I came off that way. My point is to give me more notice about
this important memorial so that I can plan accordingly. There’s much more
involved with VCF East planning than most people realize. I do what I can
to accommodate everyone and everything, but I’m limited to what I can do
with the space, time and volunteers available to me.

I’d like to add Nick Lordi to the list.

Again, can we please take this discussion private and off this public list?

Thanks!
