[Cob] Western Washington work party - July 29!

[Gaile]

Hi - my partner and I will be happy to come down and cob with you!  We're up
in Bellingham.  I'll bring my own lunch, but Doug will eat whatever you
throw at him.   Email me offlist with directions.  We have some experience,
working with Marlin back in the Madison days.   We are looking forward to
meeting you.

Gaile
