For those of you who may have joined us late, each year for the past 6 or 7, Les Eastman, our man on the ground in Harford County, has graciously led a bunch of the Osprey's Nest rug rats around his home stomping grounds in the dead of winter. Then (this is often the best part), Jan Eastman, our long-suffering chili cook and hostess extraordinaire hosts us back at Chez Eastman for chili, wine, and some good afternoon chat. This winter our trip is scheduled for Saturday, January 17, and, so far, we have 16 of you good folks signed up. Keep in mind, the maximum allowed is 20, so if you've been meaning to sign up (or if you THOUGHT you had already signed up and your name doesn't appear on the list below), speak up now or wait for 1999! Les, here's the current list I have: Norm & Fran Saunders Steve Cordle & friend Darius & Paula Ecker Manny & Joanne Barrera Joe & Arlene Halpin Jeff & Elayne Metter Marcia Watson-Whitmyre Don Burggraf Tom & Joy Loomis Did I miss anyone? Cheers, Norm =============== Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net
