To those who are planning the events for this year, please post the agenda so people know exactly what's going on each day. And can you tell us which day we get access to the meeting room.

Thanks,
Alex Taber

...it could change a bit, I'm sure.
The room opens on Thursday afternoon, usually closes at midnight. I think we're spending a major part of Friday at .... Kirby.... banquest is Sat pm.
I'm registering this week. I'm sure Joe Kassock is coming with me. God help him.

That helps.

Amtrak gets me into Cleveland at 3:00 am! Right now I'm booked for arrival on Wed., I'll change that to Thursday.

See you there when the fun starts.

We always get there on Wed.

It gives us time to rest, settle in,etc. When were in Minneapolis, we went to The MAll of America the day before.
This time, I'm invited to a private party, dinner, etc in Ohio. It only takes 6 hours to drive there.

Kirby estate

I am trying to get us a tour at the Kirby estate. Right now it is for sale by the Girl Scouts so they do not allow visitors. I am working on an exception and hopefully can swing it. Barb

Hi Barb, I am finalizing my plans this week, still not sure if I am flying or driving in? My group of vac buddies all backed out for various reasons, I am still attending.

Thanks John and Barb.

The problem is Amtrak! For some strange reason there's only one train going from Harrisburg to Chicago, and the stop in Cleveland is at 3:00 am! My return train is at 1:45 am! This means that the hotel will charge me for day before. So, I needed to pinpoint the day people were arriving. As it stands now, I get into my room at 4:00 am of the 12th.

I hope you can work things out with the Kirby estate. Back in the late 1970's I was working for a Kirby office in the Chicago suburbs. As a prize for top sales, my crew and I got to stay at the home of James B. Kirby. Being an historian, that was a great experience, it'll be great to see it again.

See you in June.
