[Grovenet] Who has good, inexpensive taxi service to the airport?

[David Morelli]

Thank you all.

We got the student to the airport.  Too much luggage for MAX.  $60  
was too much for taxi.  Finally found a friend who would do the drive  
for half the taxi rate with pickup at our home and deliver at the  
airport.
