But Frank, wouldn't you like a chance to shoot the 11 PM sun (we're not quite at the arctic circle)? No mind. Perhaps with enough lead time, I will make it to the next event. I would welcome an opportunity to meet my fellow Luddites. Coincidentally, I have, for years, being trying to convince the folks at the Navigation Foundation to organize just such an event with guest speakers, displays, contests etc. but Terry has his hands full just trying to get the newsletters out and understandably, has been reluctant to dive into such a mess. I suspect that most people who participate on this list (I recognize a few names) are also members of the Navigation Foundation. It appears that Frank has more or less filled this void. Hold another one of these Frank and I promise to make a valiant effort to head south for the fun. all the best and I hope the event is a resounding success.
