Angela, Will you have buttons for sale? Four of us are coming from Buffalo. I can't wait to meet my extended family in person. See you soon & travel safely! Sonia

I think the buttons will be given away. Great to know that you are coming down from Buffalo. I will be traveling via chartered bus with the AAHGS chapter from Baltimore MD. Safe travels to you as well and I look forward to meeting you.

Hey Y'all

Here it is Wed. morning.... We're in the final stages of packing and intend to head out for Ft. Wayne about 3-4 PM this afternnon.... A 2 1/2 hour drive. Looking forward to meeting many of my GenealogyWise and AfriGeneas Buddies during the Summit and making new friends.

Let us make this first summit not only one to remember, but the first of many, many more to come.... Thanks to the planters of the seed. Hopefully something beautiful and lasting will grow from the planting of that seed.

Dear George,

When I finally come down to earth from an exciting weekend at the IBGS my "reflections" will be added to those of Angela Y. Walton. Remember I'm of the older generation and it takes me a little longer. :)) Angela and many others that I have communicated with over the years and met at the Summit were truly a pleasure to meet in person and they are even more warm and witty "live and in living color".
