Sue Roszell wrote me reminding me that Dr. Joan Schreiber of the Ball State University History Dept. was responsibile for getting a lot of Delaware Co.'s 225 petition signatures. She also wanted to recognize Robin Odle, Executive Director of the Delaware County Hisorical Alliance, who jumped on board very early in the game and continues to support their "baby steps" in Muncie. Sue, Joan and Robin: We really do appreciate your efforts. THANKS! I got the petitions bound this afternoon and they are ready for delivery tomorrow morning to Rep. Lytle at the Madison Workshop. We had some trouble squeezing all of them into a 2" binding. The final count as of 2 PM on Friday was 2,453!!!!! Mike and I went up to Madison this evening. We had a great dinner with the IHS organizers and some of the speakers. Katherine Dill reported that she has more than 70 paid registrations. (She was hoping for at least **50**!) The meeting room at the library in Madison is a nice big room and we should have a great "show" tomorrow. The rain is apparently GONE from Southern Indiana. (Better today than Saturday, right?) I'm looking forward to seeing many familiar faces and lots of new ones tomorrow. Hope to see you there. Lois
