| Hey James! I can transport you to Nashville's TennLUG meetings easily. I have room for six in my truck + enough cargo space for a decent sized layout. I am already taking two smaller folks up the first or second week in April...if we can work out (...)

| (...) Thanks for the information Todd. When I say Memphis, I mean it would be nice to have a subsidiary-type LUG dealing with Memphis and towns within a 60-mile radius of it in the Mid-South or Tenn-Ark-Miss region. For you see, I am without car, (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tn.mem, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ar, lugnet.loc.us.ms)

| I'd prefer it happen on a Saturday, perhaps our first meeting could be at Opry Mills. Maybe Alabama Grill, Chili's Too, Jillian's, or Rainforest Cafe, this way, we can sit down, have a bite to eat, and discuss how to get eveything going. LMKWYT. (...)
