You'll just have to imagine the business part. The day started with the
Lincoln Highway Association annual meeting but I have no photographic
evidence of it. The pictures at right are of Brian Butko sharing a peek
inside his book in progress on the 1928 Boy Scout Safety Trip. Brian's
friendship with Bernie Queneau, one of the four scouts on the trip,
probably triggered the book, and Bernie's records and reminisces are a big
part of it, but information from two of the other scouts along with other
sources help complete the story.

Brian was followed by well known PBS producer Rick Sebak who shared some
clips and stories from his many productions with a Lincoln Highway
connection. At the end of his presentation, LHA President Kay Sheldon
Kozak presented Rick with the Bernie Queneau Coast-to-Coast Travel Award.
The award typically requires an application and proof that the entire
Lincoln has been covered but the need for an application was waived and
his best known documentary, A Ride Along the Lincoln Highway, was
considered adequate proof of the accomplishment,

The rest of the morning was filled by Kelly D. Summerford in the role of
business leader and abolitionist William C. Goodridge. Summerford's
wonderful voice was heard singing before he was seen, then he proceeded to
deliver a thoughtful monologue with a generous sprinkling of humor.

A buffet lunch followed Summerford's performance, then attendees divided
into small groups for a variety of walking tours and such. I didn't
actually join a group but just went across the street to check out one of
the offered exhibits. The York College Gunter Smith Center for Community
Engagement was hosting the "Road to Independence Art Exhibit". I've posted
samples of work from Cliff Satterthwaite, Kevin Kutz, Brian Butko, and
Paul Godfrey.
