Attended the RA meeting last Sat. The round-table format, where each attendee has the opportunity to talk about his/her latest work, is always fascinating. Interest in local history is alive and well, and I look forward to the next meeting on April 10.
Some of the most productive time at RA is before and after the meeting, when members can talk one-on-one. A conversation with Frank and Jill Perry yielded several leads for my research on the bituminous rock industry. Now I just have to get out there and follow up.
