Hi
Alberto!

I will definitely find
out more when I am in Salt Lake City in a few weeks.  I will check as to
when in October the conference will be held in 2006 and will check with the
hotel to see about saving a block of rooms for our group.  If we make
tentative arrangements far enough in advance then we will be assured of having
lodging very close to the library.  Thanks for your
interest!

Hopefully, next year we will make it for the  conference. I do
know one thing, you have to make reservations WAY  AHEAD in order
to get a room, especially if you want to
stay at the  hotel right next to the FHC library, the Best

 Hey.....I just had a thought.!!!....Why don't
we (Ranchos members and  any other interested parties) think
about going to Salt Lake City  NEXT YEAR for the conference? When
Mickey and I went two years ago
it  was great! Our friend, Ruth Gomez
Schirmacher, the Librarian and  Latin American Consultant in the
International Reference Dept., was  our contact and made the
speaker arrangements with Mickey that year.....I went along and carried
Mickey's luggage! :-)   
 If we plan  a year ahead it could certainly be worked
out. I know of two hotels  nearby and have a good rapport with
the people there. Of course,  everyone would have to make their
own reservations, etc. but we could  all be there at the same
time and do a lot of good net - working!
We  met some great folks when we were there!

be all in favor of as many of the  group as possible to

in my trip to CA was uplifted greatly
by meeting four members of the Ranchos group:
Rich and Kitty Cortez,
Alicia  Carrillo, and Helyn Sparkman de
Castaneda. It was truly a nice nice
experience meeting some I had known for over 2
years but only on the
