[OSList] Seeking company for lunch in Charlotte, NC, tomorrow Fri 24th

[Alan Stewart]

Hi Spaceniks in Charlotte

I am here for the day tomorrow, quite unexpectedly, as my flight to NYC was
cancelled this afternoon. Life is what happens ...

And would be delighted to connect in person with anyone in this locality
who has the time to do this.

I have great stories to relate about WOS in St Petes and also about
visiting with Juanita Brown and David Isaacs of TWC - and friends - at
their new abode near Asheville.

If you are available to do this pls call me at the Quality Inn 704.393.5306
before 10am tomorrow (Fri).

Looking forward

Alan Stewart
on my way home to Adelaide
