I would not be surprised to learn that Mr. Gallo is one of our MS FReepers. In case he is not, I just emailed Paul Gallo, the GM of Supertalk MS Radio in Jackson, and invited him to join us on Friday.
At the very least, it will give him some great stuff to talk about on his show on Monday.
I hope you all have a wonderful time!
I'll be there.
It'll be good to see you......AGAIN.
