I wish to apologize to the members of the SNCCC for missing the meeting last night as my wife and I had to go back to Denver to attend funeral services for a family member. She passed away rather unexpectedly and we were frantic to return . We returned late last night. I made the committment of donating an engraved bottle for the auction to the SNCCC which was advertised but never delivered to them as I was going to bring it down before the meeting. I take my commitments seriously and apologize for my lapse in memory in this situation. I don't know at this point if anyone won the bottle in absentia but will gladly deliver it today at your convenience.

Sincerly

Jerry
