Chris,

Yes I remember the El Paso ATC folks well. I flew from El Tiro to El
Paso last June (2004) and had to talk to the tower to get across El
Paso to the West Texas Apt. It was the first time I'd ever had to talk
to a tower (it was my 13th x/c flight) and I remember being as nervous
as a cat in a roomfull of rocking chairs. They really put me at ease.

Fortunately the conditions were great that day and I never got below
11,000' over the Class C.

Region 9 at Turf will happen (May 28 - 3 June). The budget goes before
the ASA board for approval next week. Look for a formal announcement
here soon.
