Hi Jenn,

The problem is I've already had my surgery.......I just want to go play

with the wild bunch!!!!!!!!...ha....ha... Maybe I could tell them that I need to

go back to Durham to see everyone because Flo can't control Trish and Amy really

wants to meet me and Trish will probably die unless I show up. and Lori

try to help Flo but Trish is just too much to handle and poor Judi, Bern, Margie

and all the others need me to hold their hands while they wait for surgery. Do

you think they will sell me a ticket for $200.00??????

Unless you give 21 day advance notice in Dallas they put the screws to

you!!!!!!!

I'm still checking but it doesn't look good. I know one thing, I'm booking my

flight for the September picnic this week......I will be in Durham in September

for sure!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the thought.

Bye,

Genz (the one who's too poor to pay $1400 for a plane ticket)
