<VV> Hospitality room, was: Membership required

[J R Read_HML]

Mark...   Every Iowa convention that I've made (including mini) has been 
warm, friendly, well run, and a pleasure to participate.  I greatly look 
forward to a continuation of that tradition.

Well, I'm not all that keen on the roundy-round autocross....  but that is 
what is available and it is still an adrenalin pumper - and FUN!
