Fellow Chapter Member Robert Hoppe had the forethought to record several programs from the late 1980’s to early 1990’s. He has made them available for viewing on DVD by MAS members upon checkout at the Castle Museum.

If you were not among the 28 who attended the SVC June Picnic at Bernie Spencer’s, you missed some good food and a number of displays including Rick Carles’ display of 38 fragmentary banded slate banner stones. Thanks again to Bernie and Flossie Spencer for hosting the event and Rick for bringing his collection.
