Danny Chew is the man behind the "Dirty Dozen" - it is held the Friday after Thanksgiving every year. Often in Pittsburgh that can mean snow and cold.

It's on my schedule this year. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
