Hi Len,
February is pretty busy, but I'm free every Monday in March, most Sunday
afternoons and some Saturdays, except for the first weekend. Would Monday
the 9th or the weekend of the 14-16th work for you? Splitting it into two
sessions would work better for me than trying to do it all at once, though I
might have 6-8 hours free on a Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks for adding me to the mailing list.
Rebecca
