Hello to all (on bcc address list and on Group F web page)

Item 1:   It's about two more weeks before our meeting!   Virginia & I will be leaving on our part of the trip next Wednesday, Oct 1, so we're doing lots of getting ready this weekend. I'll be bringing my laptop and will have email and cell phone (979-224-4949) for any necessary contact.

Item 2: I made a command decision about lunch on Monday at the Best Western: Virginia and I recently had a lunch at Jimmy John's deli.   Pretty good and they have JJ's in Raleigh.   So I've ordered 25 box lunches.   Some ham & cheese and some roast beef, plus a bag of chips, a pickle spear, and a cookie. I'll phone JJ's with a final count about 10:30, for delivery about noon.   We'll get drinks from the motel vending machines. Cost is $10 for each lunch including delivery charge, COD to me please .   We can use that lunch hour for more talking with our favorite cousins.

Item 3: Listed below are the likely attendees.    I'm going to review my page on ftdna.com web site and see who among the attendees have a Genetic Distance = 0 or 1 to me. And I'll be sure to talk to that person during the day.   Obviously they are my closest kin and most likely to find a common ancestor -- or at least figure out some promising research leads.

(Duncans by first name only)
For Sunday evening: Renee Cortez (Rodney Duncan) and 2 guests, Charlie, Dean & Virginia, Fred & brother John, Gwyneth (Max Potter Duncan), Jason, John G., Wayne O'Keefe & Mary, Agnes Powell (Excell Duncan), Cheryl Ragsdale (Thomas Duncan) & 1 guest, Michael (Mike), Genevieve (Green C. Duncan), David W. & Susan, Kim & Anita, Tim (Project Administrator).

Others "maybe", but not on Kim/Anita's Sunday list: Wesley, Larry O., Peyton.

Item 4:   Some things to bring:

Your family tree in a form that can be copied (I'm bringing my Printer/Copier).
Photos of your ancestors.
Books & papers about your family
Questions to ask Administrator, Tim D.
Blank DVD for copying Mary Ann Dobson's 600MB of current data.
Suggestion: a thumb drive to copy data from someone else.

Enough for this time. See you soon.

Dean D.

How many folks are planning to have laptops (or other electrical devices) at the meeting?  I'm in email-touch with a lady at the hotel and they will arrange to have extension cords/power strips available if they know how many to plan for.
 
Dean, thanks for organizing lunch!  It sounds just right.
