Surratt Conference Update

[L Verge]

The saga of our webpage is a story unto itself! Over a year ago, our domain name was bought out from under us because the company said we had failed to renew. They never sent us a bill or notice, so we never renewed. The new owner (at that time) was in Guatemala looking to sell the name to someone else at a huge profit.

It took months to get that much straightened out, and we registered a new domain name as http://www.surrattmuseum.org. We had planned to redo the site, and a Life Member of the Society in the Midwest volunteered to create a new one gratis because of the help we had given him while he was working on his doctorate. He has been doing the work on his free time (which he has very little of), and my part-time staff person has been assisting in her spare time. It is a much bigger project than what we had anticipated. We are about 75% done.

We mailed conference information to all 1600+ Surratt Society members in November. Aren't you still a member? Did you get a mailing? If not, I will certainly send a conference packet to you.
