Beth,

Thanks!  I'd missed hearing about this before.  I know of Steve Drake
from another list we used to belong to, and knew he was active with NDY,
but hadn't heard about the parade.  I 'm tempted to say "Road Trip!" and
go, but it's too far.  I think I'll get in touch with the organizers,
and see if there'd be a way to coordinate events like this in multiple
communities for next year, or if that's already happening.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
