Still evaluating the problems with reliable delivery. ____________________________________________________________________ First Wednesday in December http://www.comara.org/home/index.asp#firstWednesday *** ALL FORMER COMSAT INVITED!!! *** Well folks, it's about that time of the year again. I'm talking about the annual 1st Wenesday in December COMSAT "oldtimers" get-to-gether at Roy's Place (2 E Diamond Ave 301-948-5548) in Gaithersburg, MD (6:30ish). It is a completely unofficial and informal event. Last year we had a great turn out, reminiscing and seeing old friends. Traditionally it's been an event attended by members and spouses of the Microwave Lab at COMSAT Labs but that has expanded over the years, so that all are welcome. An RSVP is not necessary, but it would be nice to get some type of head count. So if you can send a short email to ronaldj@erols.com, it would be appreciated. Make to subject ("1st Wednesday in December") prominent so that it won't be confused with junk mail. Pass the word around. Hope to see you there.
