Rich,

Don't tell most of the people in Baltimore that they are up north.

It's south of the Mason-Dixon line. By your definition the south already has had it's convention- you can"t get any further South in California than San Diego.

The idea behind the Great Lakes is to give the Center of the country a break, and there are a few Lighthouses on the Great Lakes.

The problem is the best place on the Lakes (at least the place that fits the neeeds the best) is visited every year- Chicago.

The Cruise Ships on the Great Lakes are too small and too expensive for our needs.

Florida would be a good place to go.

I'd say that the next Reunion should be either on the Great Lakes (unlikely) or in the Seattle area (keeps a balance with the East and the West coasts that is off now) with an option of an Alaskan Cruise before or after the Reunion.

Just a thought.
