[FYI, Leonard Blake was also the first president of the Mound City
Archaeological Society when it was founded back in 1963. I'd like to go
to this, but I'll be out of town that weekend on the MCAS-sponsored bus
trip to Chicago to see the King Tut exhibit (among other things), so I
do hope at least a few of my fello Mound Citizens can make it to this.
