Hudson is indeed a better place for the VTR convention, not to 
mention the fact it gives us in the Badger state the chance make 
snide remarks about those Gophers having 10,000 lakes but no hotels

When I got Andy's note, I made a reservation at the Hudson House -

The cancellation/boycott of the Olympic games back in the 80's
