Cincy 2007 notes

[jimruffi at gmail.com (Jim Ruffi)]

I would opt for whichever weekend in May/June that has the lowest historical
likelyhood of "scattered thunderstorms."  :-p

By the way, I really regret (every year) not having a chance to say goodbye
to everyone.  Once again, I had to roll early on Sunday and Saturday night
videos make it impossible to say goodbye.  Great to see all of you!

Jim

PS to all: My email addy has changed...sciroccos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is being
retired and jimruffi  at gmail has taken its place.

>-Ellen / Tonee / Margret / Brad for the eggs and other food

>-Cathy Boyko for all the hard work you put into the awards,

>
>-Brett VanSprewenburg for coming through with t-shirts
>every year, not to mention keeping scirocco.org running.
>
>-Greg Pallet for the cool shirts and CDs.
>
>-Jim Ruffi for the wheel bearings.

>Also, I have a question to throw out to the masses.  It's
>been brought up by a couple people that couldn't attend
>this year that it would be easier for them to make it if
>the date was moved another week or two later.  It seems
>early June is bad for people with kids that are still in
