Jeff-
Sorry you will not be there. However, I sure understand. Glad your son is coming
home. I think Bob and I finally got our reservations straightened out. They
had screwed them up like you couldn't believe at Rough River.
If you don't make it, we'll hoist a beer in your honor.

Subject: Europa-List: Fwd: Rough River Report # 5
Hi All,
Looks like this year our list is shrinking a bit and for this I'll take some of
the blame. I'm sorry to say that due to life getting in the way I will not be
able to attend Rough River this year. Today I was just informed that my son now
may indeed get a 1 month early return from his deployment in Afghanistan. He
will probably be arriving into FT. Polk LA the weekend of Rough River. As with
the Army there could be a last minute delay but I cannot commit for sure on
RR. Then on top of that My daughter, son-n-law and 3 grandkids are planning on
being here just in case my son is coming in so they will go to FT. Polk as well,
or just stay here if he doesn't. Family in town ;-(.
Just too many things pointing to me not attending this year. I wanted to tell
you
all before but I was unsure. As we get closer I had to make a decision. Now
with all that said... There is still a chance that Landon my son will be
delayed.
I ask the family and they will be fine with me squeezing out for Friday night
and all day Saturday without them. That would be cool with me as I need to
get away!! Lots up in the air but being just a few weeks out it's time for us
to commit or cancel the cabin. I apologize for not promoting this as much as
last year but having a kid over there and dealing with my clients, not to
mention
a construction project here at the end of our runway has really occupied
my mind this summer.
Also keep in mind... Anyone flying cross country this direction is more than
welcome
to use our new guest apartment flying thru. We're located 35 mils south
of Nashville TN on the south end of TN14. It's a 3600 foot grass strip. I have
access to 93 octane non alcohol close by. If I have to go to LA I might not have
to leave till Saturday so we'll be here friday.
I will continue upgrading this list so please do what you can to attend and let
me know of any changes that need to be made.
Regards,
Jeff
