Hi Laverne,
As far as I know right now, Edith and I plan to be there, and we're
looking forward to it. I really wish we'd made it to Salt Lake City, but
it's too late to think about that now.
Jim

> The Piatt Researchers Conference for 2006 will take place June 18-24 at
> Delaware Valley College in Doylestown PA, in beautiful and historic Bucks

> of New Jersey in Trenton and several important genealogical repositories
> in Philadelphia.
>
> I have requested that we check in beginning at 2 pm on Sunday June 18 and
> that we have until noon on Saturday June 24 to check out. We will staying
> in Cooke Hall. This is the same dormitory where we stayed before. We
> will have the opportunity to take breakfast from the line in the dining
> hall and we will sit together in the faculty dining room.
>
> Rates are $20 per person per night for double occupancy, and $30 per
> person per night for a single room. The cost of breakfast is yet to be

> The only drawback to using DVC is that we must provide our own bedding,
> pillows, and towels. The college has none available for rent. For most
> of us this will not be a problem. And those of us who live close and who
> will be driving can provide extra linens for those who might be flying.
> Just let me know what you might need. As I recall, Cooke Hall is not
> air-conditioned and fans are permitted.

> If anyone would be flying and needing transportation to Doylestown, the
