[HH] field trips

[Kurt Keville]

I can probably invite a number of individuals to my Rapid Prototyping shop tours I am putting together at the end of Jan... the list is still TBD but will be posted here...

note that the referenced visit to Artisan's Asylum will probably not happen since they have not responded to any of my enquiries. I can probably line up some other locations if we get a wellspring for certain locations...  I'll wait until Tom has some feedback and see if I can get something lined up if he needs it...
