We plan to travel to the North East next summer and would love
to hear more about these and other activities going on.

Dear Laura,
This would seem to tie in with your own
expected arrival in America. Perhaps, we can
arrange a
link-up.

Dear all
Susan Green Grady has sent me
information re next year's celebrations. It
can be found on www.leif2000.org/Events.htm. There is to be a
Viking
Exhibition at the Smithsonian next summer and an Assembly in
Philadelphia,
Pa. in October with a dinner on 9th October. There will be a
gathering of
ships in August at L'Anse Aux Meadows, Newfoundland hoping to
be in Halifax,
Nova Scotia on Aug 26/27th.
Are there any plans to
participate in these events? I will try to come to
something if it makes
sense and helps beat the drum. It might help to cement
the good work done
by Niven on his recent trip. Thoughts please. There was
an article in The
Times here last week saying the Northern Scots got to USA
in 800's before
the Vikings. It was likely to have been a Sinclair of Viking
descent!!
