Memphis!
***registration deadline is
Friday, April 11th! Sign up today!!!*** (February 3,
2003) Norman Shaw announced in the Fall 2002 edition of The
Sultana Remembered that the next Sultana reunion will be
held April 25th and 26th, 2003 in historic Memphis, TN. The
event is being organized by Jerry Potter (author of The
Sultana Tragedy) with the assistance of Pam Newhouse and Mr.
Shaw. On Friday, April
25th, Sultana displays will be set-up and in the evening author
Gene Salecker will make a presentation on the sabotage theory
concerning the disaster. Mr. Potter will then join Mr. Salecker
in a question and answer forum. Saturday,
April 26th's plans include a tour of Sultana related sites in
Memphis and across the river in Arkansas to the Sultana's final
resting place in Marion, AR ("if the river doesn't
rise" says Mr. Potter). That night's banquet will be held
at the Mud Island River Park Museum, and, Mr. Norman adds,
"folks can buy discounted tickets to tour the museum prior
to the meal. One section is devoted to Miss. River
disasters and there is, of course, reference to the Sultana!" Download
the registration form here. More
information will be made available in the next issue of The
Sultana Remembered and on this web site.
