Margaret Fuller's Bicentenarians

A dedicated group of people crazed (ok, some crazed, ahem, others deeply respectful) of the life and works of Margaret Fuller are scheming on a regular basis to make her bicentennial a spectacular event. With Rev Dorothy Emerson, I'm co-chairing the committee based here in New England and thus happily hosted one of our regular meetings this past Thursday.

I feel compelled to report that it was not raining. Normally, this is not news but alas given that the heavens have been weeping for more than a month, we took it as some sort of sign that we were able to meet at the picnic table.

And in the interest of full disclosure, I must add that as soon as the meeting was over...
