OPA Reunion Project
I was thinking over the weekend that fieldwork with Uncle OPA was actually pretty fun, even when it sucked. What do people think of getting together every couple of years or something for an OPA Reunion project? Everybody could show up in Provo for a few days or maybe a week to volunteer on a dig or maybe analyze some artifacts or whatever Uncle OPA needs at the time. We could even lower the cost of some more research type projects this way. It seems to me that we could get a pretty good test of Wolf Village done in a week with enough OPA alumni in the house. Of course, Uncle OPA would have to come up with some dough for the analysis or whatever, but it could be cool.

That would be a lot of fun. I'm especially interested in the possiblity of Wolf Village.
These reunions would be a great time to network and discuss logisitcs for the proposed conferences on Fremont archaeology (many of you may have seen the emails between Rich and Chris concerning the possibilities of said conferences)
I think it's a great idea- especially for the concept of networking.
Plus it would let newbies meet the ledgendary OPAers of the past.
Ahhhhh Chris. The wellsping from which all good ideas flow. Sounds good to me. I would perfer volunteering at an excavation, but analysis or whatever would work to. What time of the year do you think would work best, summer, spring, fall?
Chris, is there room for an old hat (or old OPA boy) like myself to enter the sacred realm of "Friends of the Fremont"?
