Hack The VA Baypines here in Florida called me gave me another # to call. I did. So I'm on the list. They said they were giving shots to medical people first. I have appointment with Derm the 12th and another the 13th with Lab. I'll pm you if I get any info if you like.

Thanks Fin. I’d like to know where you are on the list. This is what I got from our Houston VA:

Randy, as disappointing as it will be for me, I’m not planning on going this year. I can’t even get together with my family and I don’t when the VA will have the anti virus shots for us. I hope next year the covid will be long gone and we won’t have to contend with wearing those masks.

I had been questionable about making the meet 'n greet for a while, Hack. With your cancelling, that pretty much leaves out our going together. So, it is now less likely that I will make it...barring a rescheduling.

With the way things are with covid I can’t see making any plans to be with any group. I’m not even going to church with my wife. Four of our best friends are down with the virus and so are their kids and grandkids. My daughter just got over it. I’ve got a lot of physical problems and I’m not taking any chances. I hope you understand. If it’s rescheduled for later in this year or next year, and it’s safer, I’ll go.

I'm with you Hack. Plus now with Sue's new surgery, I doubt I would be able to go this year anyway. I would hope we can reschedule the M&G for some future date.

Understood, Hack.

As the Covid has hit my Family & circle of friends hard, I'm with you 100%.

When I talk to the Park Mgr., I will also check on rescheduling for next spring. Might as well start making plans in advance. It seems that most everyone is still interested in having it; just not this summer. I will post my findings after talking with the Park.

Just wanted to say thank you Randy, for taking this whole thing on. YOU are a heck of a nice guy, and generous to a fault.
Changing the date to 2021, would mean I should be retired, and would probably have more time to spend out there, so a win-win for me. Thanks again buddy!
