    Too rich for

    My unemployment budget! But I should be getting a job soon, since I have taken my Oil Burner's license test (I know I did well enough to pass it)and am finished my schooling for plumbing and heating. Now on to the resume and application filling days. 9 prospects in the East Bay area of Rhode Island.(Bristol)
    Hope who ever wins has a great day! I know they will because I've been to a shortened version with Slant/Fin in the Quincy,MA area last month.

    Dad gum it...

    Hey Dan,

    We should have done this with my ticket :-(

    What a great thing! I hope it goes to four digits...

    On a semi-related note, my sister Julie ran in her first official marathon in D.C. to benefit the St. Jude Childrens' Hospital. There were about twenty thousand participants, and she finished strong. Thank you Dan for the pledge.

    Take care, PJO

    Hey John [jcg]

    I sent you a check for $350.00 by registered mail. You should be recieving it shortly. I am unable to attend the gathering and would like to donate the ticket to someone who can use it.I would prefer to give it to a young person in our industry who has enough experience to benefit from the gathering but for financial reasons would be unable to attend.
    I will be out of the country for the next week but if I recieve requests or nominations I will make a decision on my return and will overnight the ticket immediately to some deserving person who can use it.

Time is of the essence please help.

    Ticket

    I have only one problem and that is I am leaving town Wednesday morning and won't be back until after the gathering. Since I will not have access to a computer while I'm gone, I will have to get rid of the ticket before I leave.
