Today I spoke at the weekly meeting of
the Bellevue History and Genealogy Club.
They meet every Friday at the Bellevue
YMCA.

I was invited to speak by club leader Bob Allen.
Bob is writing a book on Bellevue History.

Today was my first experience speaking from
a podium. I was surprised by the security
it offered me. Something to hold on to...

I showed excerpts of our film, and recieved
some good comments, especially regarding
the music by John Wendell. John is doing
an outstanding job in creating the soundtrack
for our movie and I am pleased that early
viewers are taking note.

I had the pleasure of meeting Patricia
Knapp today. She is a member of the club
and she was one of the first
to contact me when I began researching
Dutchman's Curve. She wrote a poem about
the accident in 1984. She read her poem
for the group. I will be posting it on
Dutchmanscurve.com soon.
