Hi Barry, I've just been trying to subtly shift the emphasis. It looks like: a) it might be cheaper in WI b) it might be more laid-back in WI c) drinks are cheaper in WI d) there's casinos in WI e) food's better and cheaper in WI f) entertainment will be GREAT g) sorry, not many people soliciting handbills for titty bars on the streets h) even McDonald's serves Bratwurst! aim-users.com i) air fare might be more expensive (recommend Midwest Express for "Best Care In The Air") j) transportation from the airport to the Osthoff is about 1:15 hrs k) many restaurants and taverns in walking distance from the Osthoff l) golf two blocks from the Osthoff m) weather is "iffy" in early May (REAL golfers don't care!) n) probably two nights and two days would be good for those who can't afford more time away o) I get a commission on all products and services sold to non-Wisconsin residents. :-) Other than these points, I think it's about even! :-) I know I'm going to be in hot water with Grabber! Please understand that it really doesn't matter to me. It will be a lot less work for me personally if AIM 2001 takes place in someone else's back yard. I'm just trying to offer a bit of variety. Best regards, Tom

Hey Folks, not trying to change the subject but I need a little advise (help) on something else. Last year I started to set up an educational IRA for my son who is eleven now. But when I read the fine print, I tossed that idea out the window. Now it is a year latter and I'm ready to tackle this again. Not having done any further study, here is my thinking. I don't think any of the current IRA plans will serve his best interests from here to the age of 21. So I have concluded that the best option is for me to set up another taxable account in my name and list him as the beneficiary. This way I keep control, pay the taxes and if something should happen to me, then it is passed to him (not sure how that works if he is still a minor). Then when he turns 21, I can transfer the account to him or gift parts as I see fit. Any thoughts or comments? TIA Keith
