[Robotgroup] Donation of RG Christmas Tree

Sat Dec 1 16:36:02 PST 2007

Denise,

Finally got mine done.  It was a classic case of "This shouldn't take more
than an hour".  Four hours later, I think it's done.  Hopefully it will fit
in with the "Nightmare Christmas Motif" of the Screemin' Baby Heads.

I uploaded a couple of photos at:

I'll drop it off at the front desk with your name on it tomorrow (Sunday).
