COME A DAY EARLY!

Some people will be coming to San Diego a day early and enjoying a more leisurely Saturday morning. We plan to have an informal get together at a local restaurant Friday evening. Consider playing hookie or simply taking off a little early and joining us. A list of possible hotels is included on the meeting program page and we will update this page with information about the chosen gathering spot. If you plan to join us Friday evening, please let John Mallinckrodt (who will be staying at the Best Western Seven Seas) know in advance.
