Final Preparations

Man things are beginning to pick up. Everyone is working hard to make this event successful. Homer Hickam, our main speaker, was in Montgomery this past Tuesday for a book signing at one of our bookstores so I went to meet him. You know he has written several books and the movie “October Sky” was based on his book titled “Rocket Boys.” He always encourages young writers and since I just learned to blog I’m thinking about writing a book. I may call it “Monkey Boys.” It would be about 4 young monkeys growing up in the zoo and then going to space camp together. I have to stop because I don’t want to give up any more of the story except to tell you that Universal Studios is developing a screenplay to be called “November Island.” Get it……Since monkeys do not fly (except for the monkeynauts) most of the time you see us on islands at the zoo.
Got to go …I have another photo op at the annex with all of the door prizes that will be given away. More pictures to follow.
I heard our Governor may show up at the conference too!
