Ms. VanZile,

I have already sent an e-mail to Master Néstor
Galarraga for his time table. At the worlds he said
he would be happy to come to the US. We just need to
pin him down on when and than decide where. I hope
that we can get him to come before February / March,
that way we could possibly have some referees for the
Nationals and the Worlds in England. I'll keep
everyone posted. Thanks.
