10 years in PLUG

[Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.]

I remember the boys and girls club.  I only make it to 1 meeting a year at 
max.  I don't think that makes me a good member.  ;-)

I also live far from most of the events, living around 7th Ave between 
Northern and Dunlap.  But I think that I miss meetings because I have to 
many other things on the plate including a wife that likes spending time 
with me.
