Sounds like a fine gathering of midwestern lighthousing enthusiasts coming up. As fully registered and paid up members of the club Kay and I should be there if we can get the logistics worked out. It's not the four hour drive over from Missouri that's the problem, it's the debate about who's going to be awake on the drive back that we haven't quite resolved. I'm sure that all these problems will resolve themselves, though, as soon as we locate a bag big enough to hold an industrial size quantity of no-doze. Kay was sure that she remembered Paul, when taking our check, saying something about picking us up for the meetings and I know he mentioned several times about the first few rounds being complementary to the members who traveled the furthest, but now we can't seem to find that paragraph on the membership form. Oh well, I'm sure if we have to drive ourselves over Paul will at least honor the part about the complementary ice teas.
