Hi everyone:  Bill Guimes here, Chairman of the MBSI 2017 Annual
Meeting.  Besides finishing up all the reports, making sure the
bills are paid, returning borrowed items, and getting on with my
usual daily goings on, I'll add to the list making a report of the
annual meeting.  I plan on sending it to the MBSI Journal editor,
so it will be in the November/December issue, or not.

Briefly, we offered three collection tours: one to Arnold Chase,
second to American Treasure Tour, and the third to the Stickley
Museum at Craftsman Farms combined with the Edison Laboratory in
West Orange, New Jersey.

There was the dinner buffet reception at the Morris Museum, which
also houses the Guinness Collection.  Business meeting, workshops,
mart, area open houses -- no major complaints.  Many times I heard,
"A tough act to follow!"

Regards,
Bill Guimes
