Apologies, and EVENT spam..... 8^)

Greetings from Ellwood!

If people have been trying to reach me, I must apologize if you
haven't received any replies from me.  The email router hasn't
been working well.  I have sporadically been getting messages
from the outside world.  (In other words I've missed most of the
last couple of weeks' discussions).

Since the event is coming up soon, and folks will be heading out
to Pennsic, I thought I would get in one last try at our event
announcement.....

In surf-ice
