Just about a month away

We are just a little more than a month away from gathering in the Bayou City to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Houston Post closing. Remember it's Saturday, April 23.

A lot has happened since we last communicated with everyone. If you have not RSVP'd to the e-vite, please do so soon so we have a fairly good count to give our reception host -- The Cadillac Bar (more on that in a second).

If you are having trouble opening the e-vite, please just respond to this message and we will add your name to the master list. We want to make sure everyone knows what all is happening on Saturday, April 23.

At 10:30 a.m., a panel discussion -- "How Media Coverage Has Changed in Houston Since 1995" -- will take place at the Jungman Branch/Houston Public Library at 5830 Westheimer. Ron Stone will moderate the program. Panelists include Susan Bischoff, associate editor of The Houston Chronicle; John Beddow, publisher of The Houston Business Journal; David McHam, University of Houston journalism professor; and Nancy Sims, political consultant. A couple of invites are still out so there might be a name or two added to the panel before we gather on the 23rd of April.

The BIG EVENT, the reception, will start at 7 p.m. at The Cadillac Bar/Laredo Room, 1802 Shepherd Drive. There will be food and a cash bar. If you are planning on attending the reception, please send a check (if you have not done so already) for $25 per person to Eileen O'Grady, 12111 Olympia, Houston, Texas 77077.

A possible commemorative item has been developed: a Tote bag with a T-shirt bearing The Houston Post masthead. The cost is $20 per bag/shirt. We need to know if there is enough interest to place an order (there is a minimum lot we have to buy). Please let us know ASAP if you would be interested in the Tote/T-shirt. If so, you can pay for it at the reception on April 23.

That's it for now. The comments on the RSVPs are great. The fun has started. Can't wait for the 23rd.

As always, if there is anything you want to ask or suggest, please drop us a note.

And as Clifford Pugh put it in his RSVP: "Post Toasties Forever!"

Mike C and Eileen
