[Lnc-business] Quarterly Board Meeting Hotel Proposals

[Joshua Katz]

Mr. Riemers,

I do not know anything about either question, I'm afraid.  I have only been
to Phoenix once, for an LNC meeting.  I haven't booked my flight yet and I
usually investigate transportation options while booking my flight, since
sometimes packages are available.
