Josie, I'm not sure this is what you're interested in, but I was at the UTSA FHC this evening, and the librarian said he could make photos of microfilm entries for me there. I thanked him, but I had nothing to photograph, yet. If this is what you need, perhaps your FHC could communicate with this one. Alice Blake

Hi Alicia!

I will keep you posted when I hear from others as to where everyone is
staying.

On another subject, In April 2006 you responded to John on the subject of
viewers at the FHCs. You mentioned that you have learned to take photos of
the documents at the viewers using a mat board and that you needed to use a
tripod to steady the photo. How did that turn out? I tried this today at
the FHC but I must be doing something wrong because it did not work.......I
used a mini-tripod. Please let me know if you have had success doing this.

Thanks a lot! I will be in touch soon about the hotel rooms.

Josie in San Antonio

Thanks Josie for all the legwork to help get us there.

I stayed at the Howard Johnson Express during my one and only visit. The
rooms are very comfortable and it is within walking distance. I would like
to stay there again if I go and would like to know if anyone else is staying
there? I would rather not share a room with anyone and this is affordable
for me. Only problem is walking home alone late in the evening. It is not
the best of neighborhoods at night, typical downtown with vagrants etc. If
there is someone to walk back with I will make my plans to come to the
conference and stay a couple of days to do some research and meet and
socialize with my fellow Ranchos members.
