[TI] [Fwd: Re: Cleveland]

[Connie Sancetta]

Sorry about the text thing. I didn't even know I was using HTML -- guess it's the Yahoo default. I think I've fixed it now. Somebody please tell me if not.

At a very rough estimate, the hotel is about 10 miles from Alta House, where we're meeting, and from the Hist. Soc. 'WAY too far to walk, for sure. And parking in both areas is tight. I've already told Laura I can offer a ride for a couple of folks, as long as you can deal with the back seat of a VW. Maybe if some people arrive a day early and can co-ordinate schedules, we could do a group run somewhere.

PS  About to head off for the Feast of the Assumption in Little Italy. Signing off for now.
