[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] A seminar in Poland?

[Mike McHenry]

Anyone flying from North America is probably going through Warsaw. Would it
make more sense to have it there and split into groups to our interest
areas? Mine for instance is the upper Vistula. Chelm looks like 150 miles
from Warsaw.

Hi

Dave's idea has merit. Chelm would be a good location for me.
