Chris-
We met last year at spring training when we went clubbing in Phoenix
with you and your dad. I am still interested in participating in the
Tutoring program. Perhaps I could help out with my Pharmacist background.
Let me know how I can participate.
I plan to go to spring training this year and start participating in
Green Stampede activities. Might see you again in Phoenix. Go A's!

> location nearest to them, and contact our A's Fan/Green
> Stampede "representative" in that location. The idea is that there

> Rodney Brown hooked up with our "Seattle Affiliate" and watched a
> game together.
