Progress and Goals

I finally had my long-awaited conversation with the other expert on Thomas Commuck, and honestly it couldn't have gone much better. He's difficult on a social level but completely accepting and encouraging towards me as a fellow scholar. He generally admired my work, appreciated a couple of key points I made, and gave me some suggestions for improvement. ]

Now my timeline is coming into focus. On April 2 I share my draft with the Brothertown Book Club, and hope to get more helpful comments there. On May 4 I'll present the entire program publicly at my church (so publicity needs to start right after Easter). My materials to distribute ahead of the Hymn Society conference are due June 1. Presentation in Detroit is on July 13!
