In Response To: Newfound Rendezvous Feedback (michael)

: The Fifth Annual Newfound Rendezvous is scheduled for this weekend, September
: 14th, 15th, and 16th. It is a celebration of boatbuilding and people
: powered boats. In light of the tragedy in New York and Washington today we
: (the Newfound Rendezvous Committee) are trying to determine if it is
: proper and fitting that we should be celebrating anything this weekend. We
: expect that for the next few days the nation will be in mourning and
: trying to find it's way through this tragedy.

Hi Michael,

I can understand your feelings on this. I cancelled my appointments today - it just didn't seem appropriate to be conducting 'business as usual' in the wake of the tragedy.
After the initial shock, though, I think it's important to carry on. I don't think that holding the Rendezvous this weekend could in any way be construed as disrespectful. Good luck and I wish I could be there this year.

Jim
