I did, I did, and received from Tamarac a wonderful harmonica and pin to wear until the pilgrimage to Alberta next year. It was so wonderful seeing Judy and Joe again, and meeting Wulf and Chris. (You Bet I am going to make sure they get to Alberta too!) They are the John Travoltas of the Contra Dancefloor.
Lynne, I am so sorry I didn't get to sign your book!
That is all from the Public Library in Rangeley Lakes, Maine, my 50th state! Lets go find some Chaudah!

Truman, now you'll need to start aiming for the U.S. territories. I've heard that Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands are beautiful.

Dear Truman,
I am so very happy that I got to meet you Saturday! Do not give the book another thought! I'll bring it to Alberta...I'll prob'ly be toting it around until someone tells me to stop it, already. ::)
My big regret is that I did not realize that you and your partner were splitting off after Contra dancing and that I wouldn't see you guys again that weekend!! Nevertheless, I loved meeting you, and I hope that your NE wilderness adventure is proceeding wonderfully. Is the foliage nice yet? There were some colors on the Blue Ridge Pkwy, which I took partway home, but it's still a bit early there. Post some pics if you get a chance!

I think this needs to be honored as a historical place in the future. I have also given some thought to the identity of the man in the bar she say that started her on this path we are now all on. I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand he is very important and on the other, should his identity become known, even to friendly folk, it might turn his world upside down. I imagine the only person who might know who he is is Proulx herself, and there is no gurantee of that. She might have just seen him around and not known what his name was. Then we would have a mystery for the ages.

I read somewhere that Annie saw the cowboy in a bar, noticed a 'look' [of regret? nostalgia?] at some other cowboy that she somehow 'read' and that her imagination took it from there, implying [to me] that Annie did not actually know him, or at least know him well. But I can't remember where I read that now. It may be in Movie Resources somewhere.
At any rate, the historical preservation project portion of this project sounds extremely worthwhile to me. I admit to having mixed feelings about identifying the man in the bar. Perhaps he should remain anonymous, even if we could track him down. He represents 'everyman' to a great extent. Of course, if he personally feels differently, that would be a different matter entirely.
If you want some help, post something on one of the main boards, solicit some volunteers, and delegate some work. I'd be willing to help in any way I can.
Best regards,
Lynne

Oh, Truman, you're in the Rangely area! I grew up near there. There's really beautiful river gorge with the most amazing person-sized potholes in the stream bed, and gorgeous metamorphic rocks. I wish I could remember which river it's on -- it's a great spot, just below a picnic area, and sort of off the beaten path.
I haven't been back there in a long time. :(
