NOTE FOR: Gary
I've got a 21 July church meeting.
25X1 Send the word to
3 JUL 1980
[hat I can't make the 17 July dinner. If it
is already signed up, they'll have to go without me. If it isn't, see if we
can move it to some other time. We've got to put that kind of commitment on
the calendar because we made a social commitment after looking at the calendar
but without recognizing I'd be committed that evening. Put on .the 23rd when
we're going
