Hi,

One of the very first Culinary Historians meetings was a dinner featuring foods served at the Columbian Exhibition. I kept the event notice on my desk. Periodically I'd find it, call the person listed and leave a message asking for more information. Two years later, I received my first invite to a meeting.

Regards,
