[Rockhounds] Kentucky Mineral Symposium Nov. 1 & 2

[R. Peter Richards]

Hi Alan,

I sent in my registration, but I have not made a reservation at the  
hotel as yet, in case I did not make it into the group of 50.  Can  
you check and see?  Sorry to bother you, but the registration form  
did not have an email for Charles Oldham.

Thanks,
Pete Richards
