Greetings all,
I can't believe we're through June already. If time flies when you're having fun, then the TCASL meetup on July 8 ought to go by in the blink of an eye! I won't be attending (instead, I'll be at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Minneapolis helping run CONvergence), but starting in August I should be present on a more regular basis.
If that isn't enough, we're going to have some company from Texas coming up on the 15th, and a secondary get together that day as well. This will tentatively be in our usual meeting room at Roseville Library, starting at 1pm. While the specifics of this one are still in flux, the details of the usual monthly meetup on the 8th are set in stone:
Details (Monthly Meeting!):
Day: 7/8/23
Time: 10:00am - 4:30pm
Location: Ramsey County Library Roseville 2180 Hamline Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 [Board Room, 2nd floor, on the left, over by the periodicals]
Masks: Recommended
This month marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Citadel and the largest tank battles of the war:
Of course, CITADEL wasn't the only major operation to take place in July 1943. The Allies landed in Sicily (OPERATION HUSKY) on July 10:
