<DIV>I realize the passport issue may not be the main factor in Jimm's inability to attend ... but just in case anyone else is being discouraged by lack of passport, let me put in my 2 cents:</DIV>

<DIV>Getting a passport is EASY. Just go to your local county courthouse and fill out a form. It does take a little lead time (unless you want to pay the fee for expedited processing) and you'll need your birth certificate and a photograph. But it's not hard, not expensive - should not be an obstacle. </DIV>
