[Ponte Alto] Re: [Moo] Loaner garb needed...

[ellen.m.davis at att.net]

Hey all,

Thanks for the numerous offers of loaner garb for myself and my parents for 
Eine Kleine Fest!  Wow!

I think the best thing for me to do would be to raid the Stierbach loaner 
closet as necessary...then if we still need anything I may get in touch with 
one or more of you who said you also had garb.  

Thanks for your generosity!
