Dear Gail--

I have been very torn between attending the luncheon on the 17th and attending the 50th anniversary weekend of the U.S. Grant Association meeting on May 18-19-20.  This association has published all of U.S. Grant's papers.  I was determined to find a way to do both but getting to Starkville Mississippi (where the papers are lodged at Mississippi State University) is no easy task and so I must start the day before (the 17th) to arrive in a timely fashion on the 18th.

Why would I want to do that?  Well, U.S. Grant is my great, great grandfather and in recent years I have found I rather enjoy learning more about him at these gatherings, especially since others have  done and are doing the work to uncover different aspects of his life.  It is also an opportunity to see some cousins that I don't get a chance to see otherwise.

Would you mind forwarding this message to others?  I can't figure a way to reply to all.  I look forward to more gathering!!

Love to all   Mms
