" <br /> I would be happy to visit with anybody about this <br /> recommendation and, for that matter, to conduct an on-site trek <br /> over the Mel Jackson trails, up one and down the other at my usual <br /> time of 5 : 15 to 5 : 30 a .m. usually Tuesdays and Thursdays anytime of <br /> the year, light or dark, under most weather conditions except maybe <br /> lightning, high winds or ice . <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> II ROMT D.
