Hi Cliff,I'm sorry that your invite was not recognized by us too!! I have been to the Quadrangle and enjoyed touring the museums and taking pictures of the Dr. Seuss characters in the courtyard. We visited the museums after we attended the Big E one year. It was a great time. Your alternate to the Big E is a GREAT suggestion and I would recommend that anyone who is not terribly excited about the BIG E, this would be a wonderful alternative. Maybe you could tell us a bit more about what to expect at your facility. Thanks for working to make this a truly memorable reunion!! Deb Hi, Folks. I was disappointed to see that my invitation, sent nearly a month ago, was not included in the Reunion information. See below. We have a terrific genealogical research facility in the new Wood Museum of Springfield History that I would hate for our members to miss the opportunity to check it out. The perfect time would be on the afternoon of Day One for those who don't want to go to the Big E. Let me know if I can help get the word out.
