It always is.” Mr. D. is a former member of the Maryland House of Delegates who now works in the aviation industry. Left behind on the floor beside his table was a tiny golden airplane, about the size one would find on a charm bracelet. Mr. D. is aware and he or one of his guests may stop by to retrieve this: it is labelled inside the lock box used for lost and found credit cards at the front desk.
C. called out.
