HI Alex,
This sounds good. We don't live in the area, but I do come to Boston
for work every few months, and will actually be in town January 1 - 6
(Nick will be there Jan 1 - 3). I realize there may not be many people
in town right now, but if someone is able to meet with us, please let
me know.
YiLFS,
Jen
