March 2013 Editor:
Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting. Proposals must be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to Research Committee Chair Rich Arpi, 2445 Londin Lane E., Unit 410, Maplewood, Minnesota 55119-5547, and should include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. Standard presentations are 20 minutes (with an additional eight minutes for questions) although the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the presenter and of the schedule. The Research Committee (which also consists of Dan Levitt, Stew Thornley, Sarah Johnson, Brenda Himrich, and Bob Tholkes) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by April 6, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then. The following presentations have already been approved:
John Rosengren, who had planned to give a presentation on Hank Greenberg, will be traveling to promote his recently published Hank Greenberg and wont be able to attend the meeting. Rich Arpi has submitted a proposal for a presentation on 19th-century baseball and the Minnesota research project to document the origins of baseball in the state. During the business meeting, four members will be elected to the chapters board of directors to succeed outgoing directors Art Mugalian, Fred Buckland, Gary DeSmith, and Brenda Himrich. Doug Skipper, Leanne Rohrbach, Scott Cummings, and Gary DeSmith have agreed to run for a two-year term. Anyone else interested in running may contact Nominating Committee Chair Brenda Himrich at 651-415-0791. Other events: The Halsey Hall Chapter Book Club will meet Saturday, April 6 at 9:30 a.m. at Barnes & Noble in Har Mar Mall in Roseville to discuss The Yankee Years by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci.
If enough interest exists, the chapter will arrange a trip to Duluth for a Northwoods League game between Duluth and Alexandria at Wade Stadium on Saturday night, July 7. Anyone interested may contact Stew Thornley at 651-415-0791.
