Jonathan,

 

It would be my pleasure to meet with you while in Salt Lake. My only fear is that I'm so ignorant compared to all you seasoned genealogists, but the upside is that I would learn so much.

 

I haven't booked my flight yet but I'm considering arriving on the 14th early in the AM and departing on March 16th late in the evening. That would give me 3 full days. I hope that's enough to do some serious damage.

 

Would any of those days work for you? Who knows maybe we can inspire, coerce or cajole some other Ranchos members into going on those dates. If these dates don't work maybe you can suggest alternate dates. I'm not available the last week in March but I could be talked into early April if need be,  before Joseph kicks me out for falling behind on my research.

 

Thanks again Jonathan and looking forward to meeting you and learning from one of the master  genealogists.

 

Alicia
