I must say I had a great time on Saturday at the Bucks County Ancestry Fair, sponsored by the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania. I gave several presentations at the event. I am told that Karen Higgins also gave a great presentation on "Beginning Genealogy" while staff members of the Doylestown, Morrisville and Philadelphia Metro Family History Centers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints also offered a presentation about using FamilySearch online and using a local Family History Center. I admit I didn't see the other presentations as they were held at the same time that I was presenting. However, the second-hand info that I heard after the event indicated that all the attendees were quite happy with the day's presentations.
I know it must have been successful as I was exhausted. I returned to my hotel about 6 PM, thinking I would drop my things there and go out for dinner. Instead, I made the "mistake" of sitting in a comfortable chair for a minute. The next thing I knew, it was 11:30 PM! I got up and then went to bed, sleeping until 7 AM. Thirteen hours of sleep? I KNOW that I must have had a good time!

I'd like to thank the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania for inviting me, for being such great hosts, for putting on such a good event, and especially for providing me a hotel room with such a comfortable bed!
