Thank you again to those who helped make the September Nashville chapter meeting a fun and useful event. David Lewis did a great job talking about the history of dueling in Tennessee and several other states, including sharing with us why the land just north of the Tennessee - Kentucky border is known as the "dueling grounds" racetrack. Special thanks also to Mr. Hume Parks for bringing a display set of replica dueling pistols matching those used in the Hamilton-Burr duel.
If my count is correct we had at least 5 people who had their first attendance last night at a chapter meeting. I hope the found it worth their time and will return.
Plans are at present to have the October meeting (21st of October) as an open floor - open forum in honor of the elections which are scheduled shortly thereafter.
Shoney's has been a gracious host. Thanks Julius.
