Meet Us in St. Louis, 23-26 April 1998
Welcome back to a former frontier of the Spanish Empire.
Yes, the organizing committee has responded to popular demand and
scheduled another Dixieland Jazz River Dinner Cruise on Friday
evening.
On Saturday, Saint Louis University's Madrid program will host a
reception.
The conference hotel, the Drury Inn, is located next to St. Louis'
well-known Union Station, a former railroad depot now filled with a
variety of shops and restaurants. Union Station is also a stop on
the St. Louis Metrolink (light rail) system, a safe and inexpensive
(one dollar) way to get from the airport to the hotel and also access
the zoo, art and history museums in beautiful Forest Park, riverboat
gambling, downtown and the famous St. Louis arched gateway to the
West. So make plans now to meet us in St. Louis.
