[C320-list] Wind Instrument Malfunction

[John Meyers]

Dr Welch,

Summer is going fast and going well for us. Hopefully it is like that for
you too.

What days are you at Blue Lake this month?

It happens that I am spending the day doing projects etc on my boat
tomorrow, Wednesday the 18th, at Muskegon Lake at Great Lakes Marina.  I
could take some time to come up to Blue Lake any time during the afternoon
or evening if you are available.

We are planning a whole family get together just north of Leland from
Friday July 20th thru the following Friday and could stop by that Friday
the 27th on our way home either at Elk Rapids or Blue Lake.  After that I
could come up the 28th or days after that if you are still at Blue Lake.

Does any of those dates work for you?

John Meyers
