Visitors are reminded that Camp Mabry is an active military installation, and a valid driver’s license or other photo ID is required to enter. There will be signage directing visitors to the Museum and to Building 8, where the Seminar will be held. A flyer and registration form is available here (PDF). Registration deadline is October 19.
 
Whoo hoo! We're having our (required attendance) Halloween Carnival the week before, so if the river don't rise (literally)....I hope I can be there. Any chance to hear Ural and McCaslin is special!
