Sounds great. Thanks, Doc.

OK, so why don't we drop the Texas Chainsaw discussion for "Happy Days"? We are but a week from those. Here's the latest news.
1. Directions to The Shelby Inn: Take any route you've found on Mapquest but here are the simple directions: imagine yourself driving to Winedale but you miss the final turn toward the barn. That's good. Continue on HWY 1457 for some 5 miles until you encounter the intersection of HWY 1457 and HWY 389. Turn RIGHT on HWY 389. At THE VERY NEXT OPPORTUNITY ( a short block), turn left. You will soon see balloons on a gate on your left. Enter there. Mary and I and some Shiner and cheese will be welcoming you. As noted in "THE FINAL REUNION SCHEDULE," YOU SHOULD PLAN TO ARRIVE BETWEEN 4 AND 5 ON AUGUST 7. My cell phone is 979-249-7125.
2. Bekah Meyer (Bruce's daughter) will be joining the "Weeklong" Reunion group as my assistant, serving as a flunkie, gopher, jenny of all trades. Bekah performed in Camp Shakespeare for 6 years, has served as Intern for the last two summers, and will enter George Washington University in DC in September to study Shakespeare. She may not know all of you but she know the territory (costumes, lighting, props, etc). She will be staying at The Shelby Inn with you. She may well remind us all of the beginnings.
3. I have talked to James about costumes. His class will be organizing those for packing this next week but will not store them until you have a chance to go though them to find what accessories you want to use. There may be a chance for you to grab those on Sunday or Monday morning.
4. Remember to send checks for Brunch ($13.00) and BBQ ($12.00) to me as soon as you can. They should be made out to The University of Texas and marked "for" Brunch/BBQ. Thanks. My address is P.O. Box 202, Round Top, Tx. 78954.
6. I regret the confusion about reservations for the performance. I have had no control over what has happening. All that I know for sure at this point is that IF you have notified me of how many seats to save for you, I promise that you will indeed have them. IF you have paid for them on line, they are secure as well. Anyone on my list who has NOT made on-line reservations may pay for them at the performance. Reservations are now closed. SRO.
I'll likely be reminded of some other things, but that's it for now.
Cheers,
Doc

Hey, Doc, could you remind me about whether we had some kind of open invitation for alums to come visit during the week we're down there? Seems like something of that sort was mentioned in one of your earlier emails.
I ask because I had a long phone call with Angela Breckenridge ('88-'89) this morning -- one of those planned-to-be-short phone calls that turned into an hour's reflection and reminiscing -- and I realized she might want to drop in during the week as well as on reunion weekend. As of course may many others.
So if I'm remembering this right, we may want to remind the larger Winedale-l list that drop-ins are welcome during the week. Ah, here's your sentence, Doc:
'3. Should you not have time for either of the above, we hope that you will attend any part of reunion week that you can, feeling free to drop in at any time, any day, but certainly to be present all day Saturday, August 15, and hopefully Sunday morning following. I can guide those in 2 and 3 to overnight B & B stays.'
Want me to mention this again on the main list?

Mike: Thanks for this. Yes, I think it would be good to invite anyone to "drop in" perhaps beginning on Tuesday, though, to give the ancianos a chance to get going. So I'd like to qualify the earlier statement. Important to note somehow that no meals are available for visitors. If visitors need accommodations, please refer them to www.roundtop.org . Yep, go ahead with the circulation.

Doc,
I sent a note to the Winedale-l list to reaffirm the invitation and set expectations appropriately. Please take a look and follow up if I got anything wrong or left something out.
