[Deptheads] Ted Alspach is a go for Gateway 2011

[Eric Burgess]

Can I please get a response - I guess from TL. Are we going to use Ted's art
for the cover of the conbook? I need to send him dimensions to consider, if
so.

Also, Rich is sending us a copy of "Regimental Fire and Fury" as a thanks
for even inviting him. I've asked if he might come to next Gateway, too.
Looks good - his son is local and he wants to work a visit in at the same
time.
