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, nor the means to travel 200 miles and 4-5 hrs. to Nashville.
