Previously, in the announcement of the Mid-South Chapter meeting on November 15th, we indicated that the TIME of the meeting had not yet been set, partly because football TV game time had not yet been announced. As we get closer to November 15, we now have set the time for the Mid-South Chapter Meeting on November 15th as 10:00 a.m. Please add the 10:00 a.m. time for the meeting to your calendars.

Description: Richard's book All the Livelong Day chronicles the November 25, 1951, train wreck in Woodstock, Alabama, that killed 17 people. But this book is more than an account of that event. It is the story of Richard's father, Robert, who was fireman aboard Train Second 47 that collided with Train 48 that fateful day.

Have you noticed why we are having Richard give his presentation in November? Compare the title of the presentation to what holiday we celebrate later in November, and plan to attend the meeting as your first "Thanksgiving Event" this year!!
