Hi
Alicia!
The
info you describe below is incorrect......Mickey Garcia was a speaker two
years ago at this conference and that is when Mimi Lozano received
her award. Mickey will not be a speaker this year.....in fact, Mickey
and I will be in Salt Lake City doing research in September.....
Hopefully, next year we will make it for the conference. I do know one
thing, you have to make reservations WAY AHEAD in order to get a room,
especially if you want to stay at the hotel right next to the FHC
library, the Best Western Plaza.
Hey.....I
just had a thought.!!!....Why don't we (Ranchos members and any other
interested parties) think about going to Salt Lake City NEXT YEAR for
the conference? When Mickey and I went two years ago it was great!
Our friend, Ruth Gomez Schirmacher, the Librarian and Latin American
Consultant in the International Reference Dept., was our contact and
made the speaker arrangements with Mickey that year.....I went along
and carried Mickey's luggage! :-) If we plan a year ahead it could
certainly be worked out. I know of two hotels nearby and have a good
rapport with the people there. Of course, everyone would have to make
their own reservations, etc. but we could all be there at the same time
and do a lot of good net - working! We met some great folks when we
were there! Joseph.....what do you think?
sounds like a good idea. . .i would be all in favor of as many of the
group as possible to meet in SLC.
I know I just recently in my trip to CA was uplifted greatly by meeting
four members of the Ranchos group: Rich and Kitty Cortez, Alicia
Carrillo, and Helyn Sparkman de Castaneda. It was truly a nice nice
experience meeting some I had known for over 2 years but only on the
internet. What was cool is that they are just normal people and not
weird like everyone says when you tell them you met up with someone you
met on the internet.
all that said I am all in favor of you and Mickey organizing a meetup
in ELS (el lago de Sal).
thanks,
joseph

Jonathan,
I went on-line to see what this
conference was about and it looks like it's open to the general public
and it appears that one of the members of Ranchos will be a speaker,
Mickey Garcia if I'm not mistaken.
I am considering attending this
conference along with my sister in October. Thanks for this very
valuable information. The only disadvantage to most is that most of the
conference will be in spanish but what a great opportunity to meet up
with hispanic historians and genealogists. Mimo Lozano will be a
recipient of one of the awards so this is also an opportunity to meet
her. If you want more information here's the URL to the website. www.legadolatino.org.
