  Bob, thanks for the reply. I will pass this info on to my friend. BTW, 
just a quick question about the SPAH convention. Any particular reason why 
it is during Labour day? Was it not held earlier last year?
I would love to drive down this year, but the labour day week-end is a big 
family thing here.
Perhaps I can convince my wife and kids to go to Detroit!!
As for SPAH, is it related to the NHL? Does the NHL still exist? 
What are the advantages of being a member of SPAH?
If this has been done before, perhaps you can refer me to a FAQ on SPAH or 
you can email me directly so as not to bother the Harp-l ers with the details.
Thanks
