Only problem, Huey, is they are NOT reading names on Memorial Day weekend. That happens in the Fall, the few days before Veterans Day.

What they do is, several days before Veterans Day, they start with the first name on the Wall. The first volunteer reads the first 40 to 60 names from a printed roster furnished by the Wall people, steps aside, and the next volunteer reads the next 40 to 60 names from another printed roster, in the order in which the names appear on the Wall. This continues around-the-clock, without pause, day and night, rain or shine, until the last name is read. They do speed up or slow down the volunteers as necessary to ensure that the reading ends at approximately the time they want it to.

If we do this, we will need to agree to have readers ready to go when our friends' names come up, period. I am ready to do that, I just want to make sure that everyone else understands perfectly what the deal is, what is involved.

Everything else, as far as I am concerned, comes second, and this is all I am going to focus on for that week. If we can arrange other get-togethers, great. I just can't get involved in setting anything up.

We also do not have a green light from anyone that we will be able to pull this off. I think we will be able to do it, but nothing is set, yet.

Thanks,
Bob
