I am going with three others: My wife Joanne, Dr. Wesley McDonald (author of the new biography: Russell Kirk and the Age of Ideology) and his wife Alice. We live 2 1/2 hours away in South Central Pennsylvania. We haven't booked a hotel yet because we are considering just renting a limo from here for the day and coming directly home after the ball. If that's too rich, we'll end up staying in Maryland and going the subway route. There still seem to be plenty of rooms available in the suburbs.
Great! See you there!
