I'll dispense with my irrelevant comments on this one, finally realizing that if you were there you have your own memories, and if you were not in attendance my thoughts of little interest.

And now, I must be off..............to El Mariachi's for some Mexican chow (so..so) and a couple of margaritas ( GREAT ).
Marv,

What makes you think that your comments are irrelevant? Your thoughts are always interesting and most of the time humorous. Keep the good stuff coming. I hope the chow was good and the margaritas better!

Now, did Arnie have them covered or did he have to work for the big V?
