I really would have thought it would be the other way around--Isn't that why they ask for chaperones in the first place?<br /><br />The panel opportunity sounds amazing. I'd faint dead if I were the one doing it, but I know you'll do a great job.<br /><br />I used to love going to the Drive-in. There's still two of them a reasonable distance away from where I used to live. I have no idea if there are any here, though. Enjoy it!!M.J.
