I invite anyone to stay the night at my place after the Charter. Lots of room.

This will be a really nice affair.
I have not seen the South Florida National Cemetery but it is nick-named "Arlington South"
The yacht charter will be First Class and should be a "joy of life" celebration.

Please RSVP to Judy or myself so an accurate head count can be estimated.

All the Best,
