Thanks Frank for a nice write-up of the weekend.

I am very sorry that I was unable to attend.  I was planning on it 
but family matters came up...

It would be hard to find a BETTER place in the US to do this!  I do 
not know of any other venues that have a Don Treworghy, a collection 
of old navigation instruments, and other astronomical-related rooms, 
exhibits, meeting areas, etc.  Perhaps in Greenwich England...

I think there is great value in just publicizing it early and often...
