E-mails

Hey everyone I think we need to talk about the shirts we are going to wear. Since we will have over a hundred people there it is best we coordinate colors so that everyone will know which side of the family you belong to. So John's group have red and they are going to do something with a tractor. My group has green and we are unsure of what we are going to do. Barbara wants blue, so that leaves David and Bill. So come up with a color and let us know. Also since we may need to be emailing back and forth please e-mail me at tjheuterman@cableone.net so that I have all your e-mail addresses.
