  Subject: [WSFA] Idea for DC in 2011 Bid
  Date: 4 Jul 2005 15:50:19 -0700

  I was thinking about the problem DC could have with it's 2011 bid
  and I think I have a possible solution.  I talked to Sam Lubell and
  some others about how a hotel convention is possible in DC.  I can't
  find the e-mail address of the chair to talk about the hotel that
  may be a back up in case of no downtown hotel.  Would some from that
  bid please contact me?  My e-mail address is Tstidm56 at aol dot com.
  This is to protect me from spam.

All I know is what I said in the minutes, and what I read on their
website:  http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordnational/

I don't know whether "tstidm" works for Gaylord, or why they'd try to
reach us via rasff after already having been in contact with Sam.
