and three hours was not quite enough, was it!  I was at two of these meetings.  We certainly did enjoy it and the time flew by.

During last years Tour of the US eastern seaboard States, most of these talks took 3 hours. When I check some weeks ago, I can get a flight out of Las Vegas on Monday 18 April and arriving in  St Louis by early afternoon. At this stage the next meeting will be at Grand Rapids, MI. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS
