    Aahhggg,
    When this dinner was first announced, I thought “Its on my Red Warrior reunion day in the same city”. “Too bad. It’s just a bunch of vets I don’t know, so I have no intention of dropping my event”.

    Did you have to make it so fine of a speaker? Just do NOT tell me that Nikki is speaking too.
