[JONAT] FW: Summary Request -

[Robert and Darlene Stevenson]

  It's pretty hard to make any solid plans when I don't know if anyone is
coming through Michigan and from where. I had figured on bringing a group of
our club members down to the hand off point to make sure there were at least
a few cars, but I can tell you now that our guys are not going to pay an
entry to drive through their own state. If the hand off point is near
Chicago as was recently suggested I'm afraid that I'll be making the trip by
myself.

 You have my vote on this as I am still a firm believer in "user pay". I do
