<div dir="ltr">Jon, this looks like a great location and support infrastructure, particularly with Bernie Hellstrom's local connections. I would love to bring the R300 but the tentative date does not work for me. First couple of weeks in July would be the earliest I could make the trip from Texas.</div><div><br clear="none"></div>
