stationed there?When I was in Japan in my USN days, I noticed that a lotta the "boozeries" were called "Bar______" rather than "______Bar". Shoulda been a "Bar Mitzvah". Missed a good bet.

Well, yes. You may have to.My kid just graduated from URI with a degree in Conservation Science and Political Science, and she's moving out your way in May. I may have to go for a isit...
At one point, I was around so many Jewish people that I assumed whoever I met was Jewish until they told me otherwise. My experience with ethnicity has been far from stereotypical.Me too neither, but this area being heavily Jewish, it's a common term.

Congratulations Roger! And plan to make the trip! Everyone would love to meet you.My kid just graduated from URI with a degree in Conservation Science and Political Science, and she's moving out your way in May. I may have to go for a isit...
I double checked with Sharon, and nothing on our calendar conflicts with either.So.............
After a little discussion I have a couple of potential weekend dates to put out there for the sake of conversation. Whatever we decide, I'll likely take the week surrounding off to be able to spend time with those that may choose to arrive early/stay late.
For July, the last weekend, 7/26,27, 28.
For August 8/9,10,11.
There is much to see here and if you haven't visited before you may wish to add a few days so there's enough time to enjoy the visit.
For those interested, please drop me a PM to start.
Thank you,
V
