[PSUBS-MAILIST] 2015 PSUBS Convention

[Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles]

Alec, thanks for the good ideas and offer to view your new sub project. Of
course we are early into it so we have opportunities to get an
full/interesting agenda compiled. Also of note is the D.C. Navy Yard and
the associated museum.

Waiting to see how the rest of the group responds.

Steve
