Stout/Wolfe Research Expedition to Boston College
Spring, 2011 (we hope)

Wolfeans will gather in BOSTON, where the archives and literary papers of Rex Stout are stored at the John J. Burns Library of Boston College. We will also tour the campus of Harvard College, scene of pivotal events in THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN, and enjoy some of the Boston area's fine dining. This event will take place in the summer or fall. Participation and suggestions from our New England members will be most heartily welcomed.

Wolfe Research Expedition to Montenegro
2011 -- Date To Be Determined
by Political and Economic Condiditions

The Steering Committee hopes that planning efforts and the political situation will allow us to travel to MONTENEGRO, the birthplace (unless it was Trenton) and childhood home of Nero Wolfe. The Ambassador of Montenegro to the United Nations, a speaker at our 2007 Assembly, has promised to help us formulate our travel plans and we are looking forward to an outstanding trip.

Do you have any ideas? PLEASE share them. Even if we can't do get it organized this year, there are MANY years to come! Send an email to The Werowance.
