In an earlier blog post Bill Brass was justly credited with organizing the Smith Cousin Tour of Island 2013. We all owe him much thanks. There are others who’ve been doing a lot of work to make this tour live up to the reputation Smith Cousin Tours have created--the whole “Brass Band,” for example.

Bob coordinated flights for the Nebraska majority. Trudy did a stellar job with the tour jackets. Oh, and then there is Bobbi Ann, distributor of jackets in Nebraska and Ohio. We’ll have to make Bobbi an honorary member of the BRASS BAND so this photo makes sense.

Are there others deserving of recognition for their pre-departure efforts?  

And now for something completely different:

Smithing Ireland can best chronicle our adventure if it features all of our voices. There will be moments you’ll want to be sure to get into the blog—moments only you can tell well.  You are encouraged to join in the story-telling.

How to contribute your own blog stories and/or photos:

1. Write it on your Ipad or laptop and email it to Don. I suspect there will be several of us with electronic tablets in our luggage and Del tells me most—if not all—our hotels have internet connections.

2. Write it on paper or on the back of a 50 Euro bill and give it to Don

3. Anyone (on the trip or folks back home) can write in the “comments” section.

4. Jeanne also has control of the blog and has volunteered to help out, but we need to remember that she’s a professional blogger on vacation.
