<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>Dear Intrepid Historians,</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>NEXT Friday, February 13th (Friday...the 13th!), marks a special History Club event. Now if you are worried that this doesn't include you, read on! History Club is open to all...history buffs, history students, history teachers, historian wanna-bes, and historians.... Oh, and friends of the above.... So please come and bring someone along for the event.</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>We will be celebrating the day after Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. Wait, that's not quite right...we will be celebrating Lincoln's 200th birthday the day <EM>after</EM> his 200th birthday. In other words, and to be perfectly clear, Friday, February 13. At 3:30 (to 5:00) in Levan 203.</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>And how will we mark this event?</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>Dr. Mark Pohlad of the Department of the History of Art and Architecture has graciously offered to share his work and interest in Lincoln, Lincoln photography, and Lincoln ideas with us. Attached is the poster for the event (a very nice poster, too, by the way). We will have time for discussion and, as usual, there will be refreshments to celebrate Abe's birth.</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>Ok, now is there a catch to this? A fee? A paper to write? Well, there's no fee and no paper to write.... But, if you are interested and wish to come (and bring a friend or two or three), just let me know so that I can order enough food. I can be reached at <A href="mailto:ebeirige@depaul.edu" target=_blank>ebeirige@depaul.edu</A>.</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>And remember to make a date with history!</o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p>Yours in Lincoln-ness, </o:p></P>
