[AG-TECH] Beer Symposium

[Amin, Ruhul]

Don,

As you know I was not born or raised in Montana, but I have been living in
Montana for last 14 years.  Its mountains are beautiful but that does not
mean we have to be such a risk taker.  It's beautiful to look at the
mountains from the valley, exciting and challenging to hike up there.  And
if you want an aerial view, as far as I am concerned, a commercial airline
flight is much safer and should be enough!

Yikes, you guys! . . . do you recall John Denver's fate?  I worry about you 
and I'm not even your mother!

Although I do understand the attraction for roaming about Montana in the 
air as opposed to up and down mountains, Ivan.
