George:
With great regrets, I (and the E-15 with bucket loader) won't be able to make it. Vacation trip with the family is apparently more important than the get together. Go figure!
Please keep me on lists for future events - I thought the 40th anniversary party was wonderful and a great chance to meet folks. I'd love to attend more of them.

Subject: (ET) 2014 Vermont Gathering RSVP
All,
The gathering in Vermont is still scheduled for June 28th, same times as two years ago, 10:00AM - 5:00PM. In the past two weeks my inbox has had several folks sending me regrets they will be unable to attend this year. I was never planning that this year's event would be as grand as the 40th anniversary gathering but hopefully at least with many of the same displays available and with much more time for visiting.
Our house has been particularly busy this year as our farm continues to expand and we have had some large agritourism events planned for the summer, some of which we were very busy with this spring in addition to an expanded planting schedule, etc. so perhaps publicity could have been stronger. This is not to mention the day job!
All the same, if you are planning on attending please send me an email with the number of folks that will be coming and I'll be reporting back what the crowd looks like to everyone. If you have any special requests and/or are interested in teaching an "Elec-Trak University" class on a particular topic let me know.
Hope to hear back from you all soon, if you are not able to attend, also let me know as well.
Warm regards,
George Beckett
