   True, but I've since learned that there is a large McKinley memorial   
   in Buffalo.  It's an obelisk in a traffic circle.  And it's almost right   
   next door to the con hotel.   
      
   I've also learned that I should have gotten a ticket to the Exchange   
   Street station, which is less than a mile from the con, not to the   
   Depew station, which is ten miles away.  Sigh.
