A Warm HELLO to My Fellow DETROIT LOVERS,*
I am getting ready to take a trip to the Smoky Mountains area for a little over 2 weeks. Please do not call me during that time–May 17 to about June 2–but, you can e-mail me. However, I will not be able to return your E.mail until June 3. But, first, I want to let everyone know that I am conducting another wonderful UGRR** tour to Canada on Sept.2-3, 2013. Click below for details, but, let me emphasize that this will be the last time I am offering this particular trip to Canada. The reason we leave on Labor Day is that the annual*** North Buxton Reunion Parade is always held on LABOR DAY! We will also visit historical Chatham and stay in a newly renovated HOWARD JOHNSON’S Motel near Chatham. (which also has a swimming pool!) On Tuesday we will visit Uncle Tom’s Cabin and then visit the John Walls historic site near Windsor and learn about his incredible story. You must get your $100 deposit in by July 1 and the balance by August 1.**** You will not be disappointed on this trip. CLICK BELOW FOR DETAILS–
