Was off sick the past couple days.  Had some great conversations over 
IRC in #ubuntu-montana today reminiscing old Linux Advocate articles by 
Scott Dowdle.  I was a little ecstatic to have also found the mentioned 
Gazette article Larry mentioned above 
(http://web.archive.org/web/19991122062315/www.billingsgazette.com/computing/981117_com001.html).  


At one point I thought we had agreed to a dinner location, but I do not 
recall.  Above, I mentioned Fudruckers or Old Chicago, but still nothing 
has been set; as well as the time.  What is your suggestion?  Currently 
it looks like Thursday the 25th is going to be the date.
