I'm pleased to announce that Dana Overall has contacted me and volunteered to host the KR Gathering in 2010 at his home airport, I39 ( http://www.airnav.com/airport/I39 ) in Richmond Kentucky. I've been there, and it is a very good alternative, with lots of things going for it, and just about everything we are looking for, especially the right "guy on the ground"! I'll let him expound on it some, but I'm ready to vote for giving Larry a break and holding it at Dana's place. He'll still need volunteers to deal with several areas like hats and shirts, forums, and that sort of thing, and your vote at this year's Gathering, but I'm very confident that Dana can pull another nice Gathering together at I39.. My apologies to the West Coast guys, however... Thanks Dana! Mark Langford N56ML "at" hiwaay.net website at http://www.N56ML.com
