To Diana Williams & all interested in Mini-Reunion:

I think the Dallas Library is a good idea also, and has more resources than
Ft. Worth. They are in the process of moving genealogy back to the 8th
floor and that should be done long before our reunion. It was great
before, but with the remodeling I'll bet it will be spectacular!

So, have done a little investigating. There is a Hampton Inn nearby (the
Ramada is full). For April 20/21 I have set aside (as a temporary
measure) 4 rooms, all non-smoking, 2 doubles, price is $114 or for over 50
it is $102. A little steep, but we save in transportation time and hassle.
There would also be a meeting room available, no extra charge. I can add,
subtract, modify, etc. If you all like the idea, fine, if not, and someone
wants to come up with something else, I am flexible. I would like to know
what everyone who is interested would like to do in the next couple of
weeks. Also, if more rooms than that are needed, the reservation needs to
be secured.

If you would prefer to reply to me privately so we don't clutter up the
list/archives that is fine.
