I believe the demonstrator will/may be Dave Folkerth from what I gathered at the Ft. Wayne Demo.

Perhaps there is hope we may see a demo in San Antonio after all! Phoenix is farther from Dayton than SA so maybe they will stop in here on the way home. I for one sure hope so.

Ah but SA is further away from 'Montana'?(Mike Young base). Do keep the faith though!

Stick your handle/avatar on your hat when you attend the demo and perhaps we can all swap some SS info.

I don't think you need be concerned about finding one another the instructor seems to be able to spot current owners a mile away. He loves your input and it's neat to meet other owners and swap info. Jim
