Chicago evening of Aug 30
Cleveland boy heads to big city.
OK, so I've been there 96 times, but I treat each trip as if its the first. Any FTer would be great to powwow with, but I specialize in UA and 'other various and sundry mileage stuff'!!
Will be based by ORD, but always willing to zip downtown.

Gees, it looks like I will miss a second get-together in a week's time. Am scheduled to be on UA 966 ORD - AMS around 5ish on the 30th (aren't SWUs the best!). Are you going to be at ORD that afternoon?

Unfortunately, I have a work commitment that evening. 
If you're around on Saturday morning, a couple of us are going to try and meet Rudi at ORD for a couple of minutes when he is in transit.

Are you in Chicago only on the 30th? I have a commitment that evening but are you available during the day or after the 30th? I'm a former Cleveland area boy myself...having grown up about 25 miles southwest of the city in Elyria. Would be good to meet you...that is if you can tolerate a loyal AA flyer!

Two of my college roommates were from the suburbs of Cleveland. Do they still call it "The Mistake by the Lake?" Go Tribe!!
If anyone's plans change, I will be at O'Hare on the 30th in the afternoon waiting to board UA 966 to AMS.

I will be through on my AA Mileage Run to Taipei, mid evening arrival on Thursday and overnighting at the Four Points. If you want to grab a beer somewhere near ORD, drop an email tomorrow. [One of my best friends is from Cleveland, and she showed me around the city a year ago when I was there, but the ballgame was sold out! I was also a big fan of Martin Mull back in his folk singing days, when he tried to make "Fire on the Caiyuhoga River" a Top 40 hit, and failed...]

My cousin went to IU, lived in McNutt as a freshman...and he's from Beachwood. He's 41.
I live in the suburb between Beachwood and S Euclid- University Hts.
You can keep Bobby, I'll take Bo any day (Go Blue!)

I will spare the rest of this fine group the sordid details, so I will e-mail you from work tomorrow. Both of them are approx 42, and before they lived in our frat, they may have been in McNutt too. But we're talking a quarter of a century now - i'm digging here! Go Blue? - I'll take Big Red anyday, and admit it took IU too long to get rid of the General.
