invite your input for

meeting with Fritz

Vineyard Storm Damage

Prevention (date TBD but
aiming for mid-Feb.).
Given the constant
deluge over the past few
weeks I think many of us
are interested to hear
what others are
experiencing. So I'd
like to invite some
information sharing (and
if you prefer you can
reply to me privately):</font></div>
