*** Note - In 1995, we were over an hour and a half late getting to Washington National because of thunderstorms and severe weather. In 1996, we were over 3 hours late into BWI because we were "bumped" from our flight in Denver. In 1997, our flight was canceled, but we (barely) caught a different, earlier flight back to Washington National. Only 1998 went exactly as scheduled. We will have a contact person designated (volunteer appreciated!!!) who we will call from Denver who will start a teletree to let everyone know our actual expected arrival time. Please have adequate space in your vehicle for your son's gear. Finally, remember, Bob (and the Crew Gear) also need a ride back to Arlington - my parents will not be meeting us at the airport! - at least one volunteer needed to drive a Troop van for this purpose.***
