Hi, All -
Just thought I'd mention that I received the membership materials for the
Richard III Society today. They are very handsome indeed! I was a member
about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment
that Wendy Moorhen just forwarded - a laminated membership card featuring
Richard's coat of arms in color - very handsome! The car decal featuring the
white boar design on blue - also very handsome! A postcard with the Society
standard, the colour brochure on the Society and the latest Bulletin, also
featuring a colour cover. And an assortment of welcoming letters and sheets
with goodies, mostly books, available through the Society.
Can't wait till I get some spare time to pore through all these goodies!
Thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, obviously putting out a lot of
effort to produce this material. Richard is being well served!

The Welcome package from the UK is, indeed, a delight to receive. Although I switched over to The American Branch, last year (and, yikes, it's already past time to renew!), I'm glad I got that wonderful bunch of "goodies" from England. It made me feel appreciated. Wendy even sent out a message, that next year, wondering if I had forgot to renew, and I assured her I hadn't.
I, too, had been a member (1978 - 1998, when I sort of let things slide...). Back in the day, the Local Chapters would actively remind people to send their dues in. They also sent Letters of Welcome when word reached them you'd joined; I still have mine from then-President of The Chicago-area Chapter, Dinah Kozina; it included a beautiful photo of Minster Lovell. I guess people are much more busy, now, but even Email greetings from one's local would be a gracious gesture, and would go a long way toward keeping people active in the Society.
Don't want to lapse, again, goodness knows!

Hi, Judy
I think I was a member of the British chapter before. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I don't think there's really a local chapter for our area. I wish there were local activities I could go to!
I am hoping against hope that in a couple of years I might be weighing anchor for more populous climes (Britain or the US, perhaps) to pursue my graduate studies further, and I hope if so that I will be within reach of a local chapter. Chicago is one of the places I'm looking at, and also Yale, Oxford, Edinburgh, Princeton Theological, and Toronto, among others. Can't make up my mind; just like to drool, dreaming about all the possibilities! I would die (figuratively-speaking, I hope) to be able to attend the memorial service for King Richard.
I do think it's helpful if one's local chapter sort of stays in touch with their members and sends out reminders and news about local events. And I do wish there was one for little ol' Nova Scotia! J

Hi Johanne,
You were a member of the Canadian branch of the Society&.in the very early 2000's or late 1990s. I remember your name on the membership list.
There were never very many members out in the Maritimes, although we did try to organize a meeting a one point.

Hi, All -
Just thought I'd mention that I received the membership materials for the
Richard III Society today. They are very handsome indeed! I was a member
about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment
that Wendy Moorhen just forwarded - a laminated membership card featuring
Richard's coat of arms in color - very handsome! The car decal featuring the
white boar design on blue - also very handsome! A postcard with the Society
standard, the colour brochure on the Society and the latest Bulletin, also
featuring a colour cover. And an assortment of welcoming letters and sheets
with goodies, mostly books, available through the Society.
Can't wait till I get some spare time to pore through all these goodies!
Thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, obviously putting out a lot of

You were a member of the Canadian branch of the Society&.in the very early 2000's or late 1990s. I remember your name on the membership list.
There were never very many members out in the Maritimes, although we did try to organize a meeting a one point.

Hi, Judy
I think I was a member of the British chapter before. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I don't think there's really a local chapter for our area. I wish there were local activities I could go to!
I am hoping against hope that in a couple of years I might be weighing anchor for more populous climes (Britain or the US, perhaps) to pursue my graduate studies further, and I hope if so that I will be within reach of a local chapter. Chicago is one of the places I'm looking at, and also Yale, Oxford, Edinburgh, Princeton Theological, and Toronto, among others. Can't make up my mind; just like to drool, dreaming about all the possibilities! I would die (figuratively-speaking, I hope) to be able to attend the memorial service for King Richard.
I do think it's helpful if one's local chapter sort of stays in touch with their members and sends out reminders and news about local events. And I do wish there was one for little ol' Nova Scotia! J

The Welcome package from the UK is, indeed, a delight to receive. Although I switched over to The American Branch, last year (and, yikes, it's already past time to renew!), I'm glad I got that wonderful bunch of "goodies" from England. It made me feel appreciated. Wendy even sent out a message, that next year, wondering if I had forgot to renew, and I assured her I hadn't.
I, too, had been a member (1978 - 1998, when I sort of let things slide...). Back in the day, the Local Chapters would actively remind people to send their dues in. They also sent Letters of Welcome when word reached them you'd joined; I still have mine from then-President of The Chicago-area Chapter, Dinah Kozina; it included a beautiful photo of Minster Lovell. I guess people are much more busy, now, but even Email greetings from one's local would be a gracious gesture, and would go a long way toward keeping people active in the Society.
Don't want to lapse, again, goodness knows!

Hi, All -
Just thought I'd mention that I received the membership materials for the
Richard III Society today. They are very handsome indeed! I was a member
about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment
that Wendy Moorhen just forwarded - a laminated membership card featuring
Richard's coat of arms in color - very handsome! The car decal featuring the
white boar design on blue - also very handsome! A postcard with the Society
standard, the colour brochure on the Society and the latest Bulletin, also
featuring a colour cover. And an assortment of welcoming letters and sheets
with goodies, mostly books, available through the Society.
Can't wait till I get some spare time to pore through all these goodies!
Thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, obviously putting out a lot of
effort to produce this material. Richard is being well served!
TTFN J

Well hello there, Lisa! Baddeck is one of the loveliest places in this lovely province, aka God's Country. I live in Cambridge, near Waterville, in the Valley. I sure wouldn't mind a sojourn down your way at some point - or perhaps we could meet somewhere in the middle.
I do know of another new member of this forum who is a bluenoser besides myself and also like me he's a real Tolkien aficionado. Has good taste in other words. He shall remain nameless for now, unless he chooses to reveal himself. I bet there are more potential recruits here, there are a lot of English history buffs.
Let's see... We establish a 2 person chapter, and then we start recruiting. :-)

Johanne, do give us a shout out if you come to Chicago. We don't have a lot of medieval art on permanent display, here, but L.U.M.A. (Loyola University's art museum) houses the D'Arcy collection of late medieval and Renaissance art and decor, while The Newberry Library has a number of splendid manuscripts and early printed books. The Art Institute of Chicago owns a few choice pieces, and a little over a year ago, it ran a show, Kings, Queens, and Courtiers, which featured amazing art from the late 15th and early 16th centuries; the catalogue - very comprehensive - may still be available. The majority of buildings on the campus of the Univ. of Chicago are in the High Gothic style. One can wander and "pretend" :-) to be in England. Good photo ops, in any case. And a couple of our unofficial B.O.A.R.s are grad students there.
The Cleveland Museum of Art, a half day's drive by expressway, has a fabulous medieval collection, probably second only to The Cloisters of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A great destination for a field trip.

Hi, Judy!
Sounds like heaven! Chicago is one of the greatest theological schools in NA, and all my life I've wanted to visit the Oriental Institute. And my grandfather lived on Clark Street with the other Swedes when he first immigrated to the US. He worked for his uncle who owned a general store, and I have great pictures of the store, the rooming house where they lived and all their fellow boarders etc etc. His uncle,my gguncle, is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. So even if I don't get to attend school at Chicago, I would love to visit the city.
It seems like a place where there's always something exciting happening - well maybe not at the cemetery, LOL

The Welcome package from the UK is, indeed, a delight to receive. Although I switched over to The American Branch, last year (and, yikes, it's already past time to renew!), I'm glad I got that wonderful bunch of "goodies" from England. It made me feel appreciated. Wendy even sent out a message, that next year, wondering if I had forgot to renew, and I assured her I hadn't.
I, too, had been a member (1978 - 1998, when I sort of let things slide...). Back in the day, the Local Chapters would actively remind people to send their dues in. They also sent Letters of Welcome when word reached them you'd joined; I still have mine from then-President of The Chicago-area Chapter, Dinah Kozina; it included a beautiful photo of Minster Lovell. I guess people are much more busy, now, but even Email greetings from one's local would be a gracious gesture, and would go a long way toward keeping people active in the Society.
Don't want to lapse, again, goodness knows!

Hi, All -
Just thought I'd mention that I received the membership materials for the
Richard III Society today. They are very handsome indeed! I was a member
about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment
that Wendy Moorhen just forwarded - a laminated membership card featuring
Richard's coat of arms in color - very handsome! The car decal featuring the
white boar design on blue - also very handsome! A postcard with the Society
standard, the colour brochure on the Society and the latest Bulletin, also
featuring a colour cover. And an assortment of welcoming letters and sheets
with goodies, mostly books, available through the Society.
Can't wait till I get some spare time to pore through all these goodies!
Thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, obviously putting out a lot of
effort to produce this material. Richard is being well served!
TTFN J

Sounds like heaven! Chicago is one of the greatest theological schools in NA, and all my life I've wanted to visit the Oriental Institute. And my grandfather lived on Clark Street with the other Swedes when he first immigrated to the US. He worked for his uncle who owned a general store, and I have great pictures of the store, the rooming house where they lived and all their fellow boarders etc etc. His uncle,my gguncle, is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. So even if I don't get to attend school at Chicago, I would love to visit the city.
It seems like a place where there's always something exciting happening - well maybe not at the cemetery, LOL

Johanne, do give us a shout out if you come to Chicago. We don't have a lot of medieval art on permanent display, here, but L.U.M.A. (Loyola University's art museum) houses the D'Arcy collection of late medieval and Renaissance art and decor, while The Newberry Library has a number of splendid manuscripts and early printed books. The Art Institute of Chicago owns a few choice pieces, and a little over a year ago, it ran a show, Kings, Queens, and Courtiers, which featured amazing art from the late 15th and early 16th centuries; the catalogue - very comprehensive - may still be available. The majority of buildings on the campus of the Univ. of Chicago are in the High Gothic style. One can wander and "pretend" :-) to be in England. Good photo ops, in any case. And a couple of our unofficial B.O.A.R.s are grad students there.
The Cleveland Museum of Art, a half day's drive by expressway, has a fabulous medieval collection, probably second only to The Cloisters of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A great destination for a field trip.

Hi, Judy
I think I was a member of the British chapter before. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I don't think there's really a local chapter for our area. I wish there were local activities I could go to!
I am hoping against hope that in a couple of years I might be weighing anchor for more populous climes (Britain or the US, perhaps) to pursue my graduate studies further, and I hope if so that I will be within reach of a local chapter. Chicago is one of the places I'm looking at, and also Yale, Oxford, Edinburgh, Princeton Theological, and Toronto, among others. Can't make up my mind; just like to drool, dreaming about all the possibilities! I would die (figuratively-speaking, I hope) to be able to attend the memorial service for King Richard.
I do think it's helpful if one's local chapter sort of stays in touch with their members and sends out reminders and news about local events. And I do wish there was one for little ol' Nova Scotia! J

Yes, McJohn. Chicago's dead are notorious in that regard. Oh, and we're also home to the hitch-hiking ghost, Resurrection Mary, but I think she was too young to register.

Johanne, my husband is an Egyptomaniac - loves the Oriental Institute. And I'm familiar with Rose Hill, a beautiful cemetery with a great neo-Gothic entrance. (BTW, another wonderful cemetery is Graceland - not to be confused with Elvis. Many of Chicago's best known people are buried there, and some of the monuments are truly spectacular...it's an oasis of quiet in the heart of the city.)

Hi, Judy!
Sounds like heaven! Chicago is one of the greatest theological schools in NA, and all my life I've wanted to visit the Oriental Institute. And my grandfather lived on Clark Street with the other Swedes when he first immigrated to the US. He worked for his uncle who owned a general store, and I have great pictures of the store, the rooming house where they lived and all their fellow boarders etc etc. His uncle,my gguncle, is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. So even if I don't get to attend school at Chicago, I would love to visit the city.
It seems like a place where there's always something exciting happening - well maybe not at the cemetery, LOL

Just thought I'd mention that I received the membership materials for the
Richard III Society today. They are very handsome indeed! I was a member
about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment
that Wendy Moorhen just forwarded - a laminated membership card featuring
Richard's coat of arms in color - very handsome! The car decal featuring the
white boar design on blue - also very handsome! A postcard with the Society
standard, the colour brochure on the Society and the latest Bulletin, also
featuring a colour cover. And an assortment of welcoming letters and sheets
with goodies, mostly books, available through the Society.
Can't wait till I get some spare time to pore through all these goodies!
Thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, obviously putting out a lot of

about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment

Hi, Tracy!
I tried to respond last night, but I was using my Android phone and unfortunately twice I touched the wrong place and poof! my draft was gone! L
Thanks for remembering me! I thought my membership was from a bit earlier period, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. In any case, it's really nice to be back, especially with the wonderful developments occurring at Leicester.
Regarding trying to get a meeting together in Nova Scotia, I probably wouldn't have been much help in that regard during my earlier membership incarnation, as I was at that time living in Shelburne, in what may be fairly called a rather isolated part of the province. Shelburne is also rather far from the center of the action, as you might say, which would probably first be considered to be the Halifax region (largest metropolitan area in Nova Scotia and home to 5 universities), then the Annapolis Valley, where I'm living now (near Acadia University in Wolfville), or Antigonish, home to Saint Francis Xavier University.
On the other hand, if anyone desires to get something going now in Nova Scotia, my ability to participate is probably only limited by my academic workload.
Glad to be back and seeing Richard getting some of the respect he deserves,
Johanne

Although I switched over to The American Branch, last year (and, yikes, it's already past time to renew!), I'm glad I got that wonderful bunch of "goodies" from England. It made me feel appreciated. Wendy even sent out a message, that next year, wondering if I had forgot to renew, and I assured her I hadn't.
I, too, had been a member (1978 - 1998, when I sort of let things slide...). Back in the day, the Local Chapters would actively remind people to send their dues in. They also sent Letters of Welcome when word reached them you'd joined; I still have mine from then-President of The Chicago-area Chapter, Dinah Kozina; it included a beautiful photo of Minster Lovell. I guess people are much more busy, now, but even Email greetings from one's local would be a gracious gesture, and would go a long way toward keeping people active in the Society.
Don't want to lapse, again, goodness knows!

Hi, All -
Just thought I'd mention that I received the membership materials for the
Richard III Society today. They are very handsome indeed! I was a member
about 20 years ago (I think it was), and I never received the assortment
that Wendy Moorhen just forwarded - a laminated membership card featuring
Richard's coat of arms in color - very handsome! The car decal featuring the
white boar design on blue - also very handsome! A postcard with the Society
standard, the colour brochure on the Society and the latest Bulletin, also
featuring a colour cover. And an assortment of welcoming letters and sheets
with goodies, mostly books, available through the Society.
Can't wait till I get some spare time to pore through all these goodies!
Thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, obviously putting out a lot of
effort to produce this material. Richard is being well served!
TTFN J
Johanne
