Most weeks several new items for my Kerr County history collection come into the print shop. During the weeks since my last posts here, a great number of items have arrived.

| Guest register, St. Charles Hotel, Kerrville, March 9, 1927 |
This sheet is interesting, at least to me, for several reasons. In the upper left corner, someone has written "Rotary Luncheon, $28.50," and since this is Wednesday's register sheet, I'm guessing the Rotary met on Wednesdays, just as they do now. The letters in the "Time" column: D, L, and S -- I speculate they stand for Dinner, Lunch, Supper -- but that really doesn't make sense. Perhaps one of you can figure out that one.
Lastly, I think the signatures are interesting. Penmanship was so important in those days.
Thanks again to the Wallers for sharing this with all of us.
