Hey Jeff,

I'll be attending the regatta with our two youngest children. We'll
be visiting with our oldest son Josh in Toronto the week prior to
the Beach Jam, so I was planning on driving up through Milwaukee on
the return trip to catch your event! Woodette will be working in
Dryden (unfortunately) so will not make it this year.

Where are people planning on staying? We are looking for a place to
stay. Anybody?

Woody
