Randy and all,

I have read some, but not all of the recent posts on the upcoming
celebrations with great interest.  My experience with the names of marches is that they
are usually designed to appeal to the common man, etc., etc.

I'd suggest something a little more plebian like "Celebration Jamestowne
400", "For Jamestowne 1607",  "Virginia Founders' March"  (maybe it'll be a state
march!).

I understand the interest in the "quadra" language, but thinking of famous
marches, like Washington Post, etc...the names aren't unwieldy.

Also Randy, on a trip from VA to MO in a new car with (finally) a CD player I
listened to the wonderful CD you sent a couple of years ago.  Thanks.

Janet (Baugh) Hunter
