The Next Adventure

Next week, my friend Andrea arrives from Mesa, Arizona.  Andrea and I were college roommates at Miami University, a significant number of years ago.  We have kept in touch over the years and have taken trips together in the fall for the past three years.  On Wednesday, we will drive to Springfield, Illinois, where we will participate in Road School Program #15326, A House Divided:  Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War.  While there, we will be part of the commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln in 1862.  The Union victory at Antietam was a determining factor in the timing of the Proclamation, so the program is a good continuation of my Maryland trip.
