Houdini grave and halloween gathering

Hi Folks,

Who sets up the Houdini seance event in NY?

Also do we have a contact for visiting the grave?

Thanks in advance,

Weren't you supposed to inquire about this back in October? My wall calendar says December. Oh well, you can try John Cox at his Wild About Harry blog. He may have answers. His contact info is there.

Contact George Shindler or the Parent Assembly. I'm almost positive they own the plot. I'm pretty sure the cemetery has changed hands and you might be able to find their number.

As the Broken Wand Ceremony has ceased over the past few years, it's lost most of its' luster. IMHO

I was asked about this just recently. By someone who'd like to attend. Suggestions welcome. Happy Holidays folks and Merry Christmas
