Stan and all,

Just home for the holidays from Madison the evening your note posted
about the possible Fred Rydholm teleconference talk at the January
Ancient Earthworks Society meeting in Madison. I will be in Madison
doing clinicals most of January, yet that Thursday evening is free
and I would enjoy attending the January meeting.

Tonight I phoned one of the Ancient Earthworks Society founders,
retired Prof. James Scherz who lives part of the time here in Wausau
(also, Madison and Sauk City). He hadn't heard yet of the upcoming
teleconference, told me to check further for him. We will meet
downtown tomorrow for lunch and use my cell phone to call Fred.

When Jim visited the Rydholms in Marquette last month, Fred gave him
a copy of his new book to pass on to me. I need to personally
thank him for it. The book is so popular Fred is scheduled to give a
considerable number of talks as well as media programs since its
release. The 2006 book by C. Fred Rydholm is titled: "MICHIGAN COPPER-
The Untold Story-A History of Discovery"

I pulled up the Ancient Earthworks Society web page this evening and
do not see anything about the AES January meeting:

If you have another AES web site as well as further information on an
alternate/or February speaker, please pass that along also.

Most appreciative of your recent postings, Stan. Hopefully will have
time to delve a bit more deeply during the two weeks of vacation from
classes and hospital clinicals.

Respectfully,
M. Susan English

Fred Rydholm will be the featured speaker for the January meeting of
the Ancient Earthworks Society...

7:00 PM Thursday, January 18th, 2007
Retired Prof. FRED RYDHOLM: "The Copper Culture and Wisconsin, UP
Michigan and Great Lakes History"

You won't want to miss this exciting presentation. Fred will be coming
to us via video conferencing from a university in northern Michigan.
(Bring on the technology!) The video is live from both ends so there
will be interaction and the ability to ask questions. The last time
Fred spoke to AES we went until 10 PM and people said they could have
stayed all night listening to Fred!

In the event Fred Rydholm is not able to present on January 18th, Dr.
Gary Maier has graciously agreed to be our backup speaker. If Fred is
able to present in January, Gary will present at our February meeting.
An announcement will go out closer to the meeting with final details.

We will be meeting at the UW Health Science Learning Center, 750
Highland Avenue, Madison, room 1309, on the first floor. This room is
right next to the entrance off the small (permit at all times) parking
lot right off the building, in case you are dropping someone off. We
hope to meet in this room for the next few months. Park free after
4:30 in nearby Lot 76, or right next to the HSLC in the regular
hospital ramp for $1 an hour.
