Hello to all of our new members.  It was great to meet you at the Destinations Galore event in Humble, Texas on Tuesday, February 6^th.  These biannual events are now held in even number years, but they used to be held in odd years.  It is great that Precinct 4 sponsors these conventions and I am always glad to meet everyone.  This was the ninth time that I have had a booth at this function.

If you know anyone who would be interested in receiving our blogs, please let us know at houstonhistory@aol.com.  Provide a clear name and email address for the person or group and we will sign them up.  Thanks.

February represents many things different things for different people.  Here in Houston, it is the end of the cold weather and the beginning of the warm weather.  We might have freezing temperatures at the beginning of the month and azaleas blooming by the end of the month.  It is Black History Month and a month for romantics with Valentine.  Lastly, the rodeo starts this month.  Everyone might have one or more things to look forward.

Any time of year is a good time to take a tour when you are in an enclosed vehicle.  When Houston is being hit by a hurricane, it is a great time to take a tour  . . . of San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, or Fort Worth.  LOL.  Remember that weather should never impede you from taking a tour.

Tours can make a great present for someone.  We offer a couple of options.  You can pay for a specific tour for a specific number of people or just buy an amount that you are comfortable spending and let the other party use it as they wish.  They can use their present anytime within 6 months of when the purchaser wants to designate.  For example, if you buy it on February 12^th, but you designate that it will take effect beginning on February 15^th, the party can have up to August 15^th to use it.

Always remember to confirm and reconfirm if you hesitate that tour dates are available when you want them before sending in any money.  Always send a non-refundable deposit of roughly 50% to reserve your tour to ensure that you will have it.

I will be on the radio this Sunday morning at 5:00 AM and streaming throughout the month of February.  Suzi Hanks with Cox Media interviewed me for Black History month on Monday, February 5^th at about 10:45 AM for 30 minutes.  I conduct seven African American themed tours that could be of interest to anyone any time of year, but especially now.  Cox is an umbrella group for four radio stations:  The New 93Q, KTHT-FM Country Legends 97.1, 106.9, and 107.5.  The latter two stations are really the same classic rock and roll station, the Eagle, with different frequencies.

See you on a tour.

Keith
