Hi Bill, What a lovely and generous offer! I had spoken to Jim about the convention already and was trying to figure out how to get him there. He had expressed interest in going. Let us see how rehab goes, and if a possibility I will reach out. We no longer even have a workable tent anymore or cots. Maybe still an air mattress?! Last big trip to Big Bend kind of messed up equipment due to extremely high winds!
