Kathryn Michel said… - Tom asked that we send nominations for officers for the upcoming year to the secretary. I sincerely hope that we can keep the same officers for at least one more year. What you four have accomplished in the time since June 2008 is fantastic. And we have had and are having the best year we have ever had. Though I don't expect that you will stay in office for the next ten years I sincerely hope you will consider taking at least one more year as vice president.
If this meets with your approval and the approval of the other officers perhaps there is some way we can use this website to contact all participants for approval of this slate of officers. Today I am writing to Tom, Jayne, and Adele with the same request.
I realize that the last nine months have been a tremendous learning experience for you all. But now with this experience it may just be easier the second time around.

- I just sent a comment to Tom. The Egyptologist Leonard Lesko is a friend of our speaker and was at the last lecture. I spoke with him briefly and knew his name was familiar but wasn't sure of details. Turns out he is, among other things, the author of a fascinating book The Wine Cellar of the Pharaohs and is an authority on wine and beer of pharaonic times. This would be a fascinating lecture and as long as he is a Phoenix area resident he would not be too expensive. Or he might have another topic also. He is a retired Egyptologist from Brown who has now moved to our area. This is an idea for next season. I have no idea what he would want for a stipend but we could find out. I'm sure he will be at dinner on Monday.

- I just received a message from you but only the first few words came through. I assume it was telling me about dinner. We'll be there. I'll see you tomorrow.

PS when I selected you to send this message all the messages you have received from anyone appeared received from January 1-Dec.5.

James MacNaughton said… - I'm putting some time in on Camp Carmichael, and I may decide to try and spin a paper/topic out of it. Part of my issue is land ownership, and then as now, private entities don't always like to cooperate with even well-intentioned government officials (only about 1/5th of what is left of the camp is on public land, the rest is private).
There was an interesting dichotomy up here in the latter half of the 19th c.; in the 1860s, the 'Celestials' were novel, hard-working heroes. In the 1870s, they were strike-breakers, and in the 1880s, riots broke out across Wyoming, and Chinese men, women and children were slaughtered by the dozen for a litany of crimes. All of this though, is the upshot of the struggle of labour against completely unregulated capital interests. State and even federal government fell in on the side of industrialists, crushing unions and ignoring the deaths and privation of immigrants, and going so far as to pass laws that further deligitimated them as humans, let alone their status as citizens...
...not that I see any parallels then-to-now, of course, I just think it's an interesting topic...

- Dinnae fash, hen! I've changed it! Huch, all the blether fer a wee bitty word!
Anyway, action is heating up in France, I'm on as one of the consulting HA's for a mass grave in Fromelles. THAT will be the dig, assuming the French Interior Ministry accepts the proposal. I've been monitoring and reporting on various 'cultural linear properties' up here in the GWN, and I have some historical/modern pictures of Camp Carmichael, one of the last in situ railroad camps in the US, a camp on the original line of the Transcontinental RR, and coincidentally a camp directly on the Overland Trail. We had thought that I-80 had wiped out the Trail, but I may have found a braid of it intact. I'm working with local hysterical organisations, but if I can get permission to put up some of the pics, they are passing interesting (at least to me).

- Added some photos, it's benighted historical archaeology stuff, but perhaps some will be interested.
