Thanks to all the competitors, our great volunteers, and as
always, Ed and Carol, for creating STREND ! Everybody out
there, start stocking up on hats and mittens, because Dennis
Sandell and I are plotting to host a STREND (indoor) in January
or February of 2005 in Bloomington, Minnesota !

STREND on,

Rick
