Canceled

Sorry, had to cancel the class due to the lack of people signed up. You can now use that as an excuse to come out west for another trip, "Since they canceled the class in NY, for my own safety and the safety of the group, I have to take class in Colorado". See how that flies with the spouse. Hope it was a great show. I was looking forward to attending. Mike Duffy
