Gentleman (and Phil)

If you haven’t heard already, I have submitted my resignation to the Board of 
the museum.  I have some family obligations that require I spend more time in 
the Flint area and less time in Marshall.  I have expressed to the board the 
importance of working with Ring 89 and they agree that the relationship needs 
to continue.  We will do everything we can to have the museum open for your 
monthly meetings.

A larger issues involves the program at the Franke.  Not knowing what my 
life/work schedule will be in the next few months, I’m afraid I can not commit 
to participating.  Fortunately, my portion of the program will be the easiest 
to replace as it requires no magic skill or real talent.

I plan to be at the next meeting – however you’ll have to remind me what day 
was picked.

Jeff

Hi, guys --


Because of the shift of meeting date, I won't be able to attend the upcoming 
Ring meeting (I'll be at a City Council meeting).  


If you all can, please give some thought to what you're planning to perform at 
the March 29 show at the Franke Center, and share your "honored magician" with 
Jeff so he can start preparing related historical material for his slide show.

In September we'll need to buckle down on how we intend to coordinate the show 
with the staff at the Franke Center, as well as work out publicity for the 
show.  

We'll also need to launch an effort to buy/build materials for the proposed 
screen around the sub trunk.

Here's the prospective show schedule:

FIRST ACT (~ 1 hour)
Phil - Chinese sticks and D'light (7)
Jeff - Introduction - Bringing the museum on stage (3)
Eric - ????????? - poss. Jumbo cards (5)
Ron - Rope routine (5)
Krag - hypnotic disc &/or dye- version
Scoop - Basic juggling bit - KNIVES??? (7)
John - Chavez-style balls / cards ???? & Straitjacket w/Ally (10)
Jeff - Historical revue w/slides of magicians invoked on stage and at museum - 
Slideshow (10)
Phil - Linking Rings (7) 

INTERMISSION - Strolling magic by Eric, Ron, Todd (15)

SECOND ACT (~ 1 hour)
Krag - silks & temple screen
Ron - Coke bottle routine
John - ESP routine w/ Card sword (7)
Phil - Floating light bulb (7)
Jeff - Museum overview - Lund history? - Slideshow (7)
Scoop - Block juggling & balloon giveaway/drawing (collect after show) - Help
