[HATS] Re: HATS Meeting & dinner tonight?

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

Not accounting for the weather, the gang meets at Mama's on Westheimer, 
just east of Greenridge and Christies.  It's on the South side of 
Westheimer, pretty much across the street from the Bering Hardware.  Most 
folks start showing up around 5:30 PM.  I can't make dinner as I have to be 
at my son's High School for a 6:00 teacher meeting - but I'll be back in 
time for the meeting at 7pm.  See you there.

Ed Manuel, N5EM
