Hi again!
Communication is a funny thing. Today I was
in the process of setting up this field trip for next year (because I
was under the impression that you needed to schedule a year in advance)
, when the person on the phone informed me that for Saturdays, no
registration is required! So, if everyone is agreed, we will move
forward with this trip. I'm planning on Saturday, March 27th, at
10:00am. The Michigan Historical Museum is located at 702 West Kalamazoo
Street, two blocks west of the State Capitol in Lansing. this is an
excellent museum on two floors, which covers the history of our state
from prehistorical times up to the present. Included are great displays
on mining in the UP, which give a pretty good idea of what miners had to
go through in the late 1800s.
Here is a link to the museum's home page.

The plan is to meet in the museum parking
lot at 10:00am.
Please email me with any questions or
suggestions.

Hi Everybody!

Our meeting this month will be on Thursday
March 18th. For this month's program, Lee Kirby will be talking to the
club about "Why?" When asked what this meant, he just said, "You have to
show up to find out." This should be interesting. Hope to see you there!
