To all:- Shopping plazas will very often refuse to allow booths or tables for signing petitions, but this is one of the "hope we never hear it" stories -- so far, no petitions from the large exposition!! [or NEHGS] Any reason -- to George (another one). Muriel ========== Here are the petitions I have been able to get signed. There are not as many signatures as I had hoped for, but it is the best I can do. My biggest disappointment was at what is known as the Eastern States Exposition, held in western Massachusetts about the middle of September. ... I volunteered to help for one day at the booth of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, of which I am a member, and I took along a bunch of forms. But when I got them out, I was informed that the management of the exposition would not permit such activity. Too bad -- a substantial fraction of the visitors passed by our booth, and I suspect that a fair number would have signed. George L. Trigg, Ph.D ==== Should anyone learn of seminars, expositions or whatever, send me the address -- I have contacted many -- possibly the exposition committee did not understand the significance. Thanks for trying, George Muriel
