Nashville Scholars Adventures

The Nashville Scholars' Annual Picnic was a great success.
Held at the home of Gael and Susan Stahl, our special guest was
Vincent Wright (Illustrious Clients of Indianapolis) who brought a fine program
on the precise location of Holmes and Watson's flat at 221b Baker Street.

Nashville Scholars Adventures and Trips

Jim Hawkins

Other Adventures: Hawkins at Sherlock Holmes Pub, London (1997)

This adventure involves a pub, a theatre, coins left, coins retrieved,
terror, loss of memory, and a final solution. A pretty typical day for me,

Nashville Scholars travel all over the world visiting other Sherlockian scions and individuals. This part of our website will record our visits to places outside Nashville and Tennessee. One of our favorite travels annually is to the Sherlock Holmes Birthday celebration in New York City, hosted by the Baker Street Irregulars since the early 1930's. Not all of us go each year. Usually two, three, or a few more show up at the Algonquin Hotel headquarters to meet and greet friends we haven't seen in several months or years. The slide show below was taken from photographs taken in January 2009 of our visit to New York's Sherlockian environs.

Nashville Scholars in New York City for the Gaslight Gala and the BSI Annual Holmes Birthday Celebration

You'll see McSorley's Pub, Otto Penzler's Mysterious Bookshop, and friends dining at the Red Flame cafe, a favorite meeting place next door to the Algonquin Hotel. This slide show will give you a front row seat at the Gaslight Gala (click link for more information), one of two dinners honoring Sherlock Holmes in New York each January. (Holmes birthday is Jan 6, 1854, but you knew that, didn't you!)

You'll see Nashville Scholars Marino & Vicki Alvarez, Billy Fields, and Jim Hawkins. Also shown are Jim Cox (CA), Susan Dahlinger (NY), Alan Devitt & wife Susan Diamond (IL), Steven Doyle (IN), Don Hobbs (TX), Don Izban and his wife Barbara (IL), Alex Katz (NY), Leslie Klinger (CA), Sandy Kozinn (NJ), Marilynne McKay (GA), Gordon Speck (IN), the Nivers (CT) who recreate William Gillette each summer at the Gillette Castle in Connecticut, Joanne Zahorsky-Reeves and her husband Robert (CA) who always delight a Sherlockian crowd, Otto Penzler (with Fields in his Mysterious Bookshop in NYC), and Becky Robare & Tim Evers (not sure? where) performing a radio play.

International Sherlockians are in the slideshow as well. You'll see Bill Barnes (Sydney Passengers / Australia), Canadian friends (Toronto Bootmakers Society / Canada), and Roger Johnson (England) who edits The District Messenger, journal of The Sherlock Holmes Society of London. Quite a list!
