It is nice to be able to put faces to names if people I am unlikely to ever meet.

I'm not sure if it was just before or just after Brian took me to the back alley and beat me up. You know those boxing fans.

Serves you right.

You must have said something bad about Aussies, I'm pretty sure he is one, just was kidnapped at birth and taken to Yank land.

Only American I've ever known who gets Aussie rules. and likes Yahoo Serious.

Good looking bloke that Brian Young fellow.

The Washington Monument in Baltimore is the first major formal monument to the nation's first president. The architect was Robert Mills who also designed the Washington Monument in D.C., although that monument is an obelisk and not a classical column as here. The next two photographs were taken in George's Restaurant at the Mt Vernon Hotel... named for the first president, naturally!

Correct, Jon and Abby. The talks were recorded by Robert Anderson and will be put up as RipperCast podcasts by Jonathan Menges. Stay tuned.

We held talks Friday afternoon then all day Saturday with a bus tour of downtown Baltimore on Sunday for four hours starting at 9:00 am. I stayed at the Mt Vernon Hotel Saturday night so I would be in good shape to lead the bus tour Sunday morning. Attendees at the event decided to eat at an Ethiopian restaurant up the street but I didn't fancy that so I just ordered room service. I had filet mignon and a bottle of red wine.

Here are a few shots I took at the hotel from the window of my room looking out at Mt Vernon Square and the city's Washington Monument. First several shots are of the square on Saturday evening. It had been rainy and blowy during the day so the streets and sidewalks were wet. The photographs were taken between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm as dusk closed in. Note one shot of the flag above the window then one of the illuminated monument around 7:30 pm. Then the last photo -- a shot of the monument on Sunday morning, which thankfully dawned sunny and dry which was good because I had photographs and documents that I wanted to show the folks during the tour!

Hi Chris,

I am sorry I could not attend this one, and hope I can do the next Baltimore conference.

That is the Baltimore "Washington Memorial" I believe in those photographs. It is the oldest memorial to George Washington in the U.S. I saw it passing in a car through Baltimore back around 1994.

I am very sorry that, due to health reasons, I will not be able to make the Baltimore conference. I am very sorry to be missing what I am sure are going to be amazing lectures and seeing some old friends and making new.

Best Wishes to Everyone!
