[NJARC] Enigma Machine Talk following NEARC Swapmeet this Saturday

[TrainBee]

Greetings from Maine.  Just a reminder that the NEARC is having it's Fall Swapmeet this Saturday just outside of Nashua, NH.  Starting at Noon, there will be a talk by Dr. Tom Perera about the Enigma Machine.  If you were at Kutztown, he had a table with an Enigma Machine in the display.

I know this isn't very close for most, but you can expect a great talk if you do come.  The publicity info is below.

Regards,
Joe Devonshire
