bart Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Thanks, Cristian. I am truly glad that they are continuing the performance in West Palm.

bart Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Thanks for the update, cubanmiamiboy. I'll be there for the Kravis "Classical and Neoclassical Program" with plenty of fingers crossed after the debacle last year. The promotes list 17 companies for that program.
