Thu Jul 22 08:04:11 EDT 2010

Jamie, 

I will not be able to attend this weekend's MA-TACF mtg.  The New England Forestry Foundation has not yet informed me on whether they've accepted my application for a conservation easement.  If I hear from them before Sunday, I'll update you.  

If there's other info you'd like from me for the mtg., please let me know.

Regards,
John Meiklejohn
