Just wanted to take this opportunity to remind friends and colleagues that the deadline to apply to attend Ashbrook’s excellent on-location weekend colloquia is around the corner. I had the opportunity to attend one at Mt. Vernon very recently, and it was incredible. If you have the chance to go, I encourage it. Plus, they give you a nice stipend to help defray costs!
