I should add that meetings in 1954/55 were held at Dot Cole's.  Then they
moved to Nelson Griggs' in Wheaton.  From there they moved to Miz Cullen's,
on the edge of Rock Creek Park.   They were at the Griggs' at the time Dick
Eney returned to the US (from Army service in Japan), but by 1956 they were
at Miz Cullen's.   *All* of these meetings were held on Sunday evenings.
