Minutes of the September meeting were approved with a correction. The date of Maryann Mikell’s presentation in April is on the 14th not the 13th as was noted in the September minutes. 

The nominating committee will not need to meet this year but will be meeting around this time next year. Please be considering anyone you would like to nominate for membership in Sage and get their brief biographical sketches to Geni by December 26th

Born to Read has us on their mailing list now. If anyone would like to contribute, their address is 703 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC 29902.

Debbie Gray enlightened us with her scholarly presentation on the Army Laboratories at Watertown, MA. She fielded many intriguing questions afterwards.

Stuart reminded us that there is no December meeting.
