Hi Fred,

So, essentially on creation of a RollingEvent I'd be passing in a
reference to the parent Event?

Something like:

@events.each |parent_event| do
date = parent_event.start_date
while date <= parent_event.end_date
allevents << RollingEvent.new(parent_event, date)
date += days_between_repeats
end
end

class RollingEvent{
def initialize(parent_event, date)
@parent_event = parent_event
@date = date
end

Would I have to make a method for every single data member like so:

def amount
@parent_event.amount
end
def title
@parent_event.title
end
end

??
