I would love to attend this lecture series, but I am exactly 607 miles away from Fall River way over here in Ohio. As a teacher, I just can't pick up and go. Retirement hits in 3 or 4 years..Watch out...I will be everywhere!! Does anyone know if the lectures are being recorded?

There is "some talk" of something like this. More info will be posted when and if it becomes official. Great question, by the way!

By the way, there is a big piece of Lizzie news that I am speaking about during my talk on Monday evening. It is about Miss Lizzie and will sure to surprise and delight the audience.

I can't tell you now what it is. You have to hear the talk to get the story! How's that for a teaser!?

Stef, I sent you an email through the forum, but not sure if you got it.
Because of Ted & my work schedule there is no way we are going to make it.
Will these lectures ever be put in print and compiled into a book. My other question is - when you do the lecture is there any way you could broadcast it over the computer so we could watch it? I know I'm not using the correct terminology. My nephew was going to get married in Vegas and was going to send us a link so we could watch the ceremony.

That would be AWESOME to have it broadcast live on the internet. I am over 2000 miles away from my homeland but I sure do wish I could attend each and every one of those lectures. They all sound interesting.

Because of my work schedule, I won't be able to attend. They all sound very interesting.
