Description

"Excellent, Watson! You scintillate today." [ILLU]  In 2017, we'll celebrate the 10th anniversary of , appropriately called "a family reunion for Sherlockians." In this episode, we're fortunate to be able to speak with the founder of the event, Jacquelynn Morris, BSI ("The Lion's Mane"). From an AOL discussion board to membership in one of Maryland's finest Sherlockian societies, we hear about Jacquelynn's first meeting with Sherlock Holmes and the many people who have influenced her along the way. Hers is a story that typifies the magnificent power of friendship and colleagues as one finds one's way into the world of Sherlock Holmes fans. It includes the encouragement of outsiders and younger individuals, a fine tradition which Jacquelynn herself carries on today. We also touch on topics such as Undershaw and 's latest publication . Much like an onion, the more layers we peel back from Jacquelynn, the more we discover — and she's fascinating! Listen in to find out what a wedding, a swordfight, Vincent Wright and a deli platter have in common.   Notes 1:35 Introduction 3:24 Sponsor — Wessex Press 4:45 Welcome Jacquelynn Morris, BSI, ASH 10:30 Remembering alt.fan.holmes, the Hounds of the Internet and Steve Clarkson 12:01 Watson's Tin Box of Ellicott City, Maryland 14:58 If you own a restaurant, be wary of Watson's Tin Box 18:08 Saturdays with Sherlock Holmes at the Pratt Library 20:23 The origins of A Scintillation of Scions 26:34 Essay contest for 7th graders in Howard County, Maryland 32:30 The stand-out speaker of all of the Scintillations 33:22 Other memorable events at Scintillation 35:48 Upcoming features at A Scintillation of Scions X 38:09 Getting involved with Undershaw 42:57 Jacquelynn's contribution to About Sixty 50:00 A chapter in The Wrong Passage about which poison Anna Coram took 57:53 Sponsor — The Baker Street Journal 1:00:09 Contact information and review 1:01:36 Sherlock Holmes Brand ad 1:02:43 Special news announcement   Sponsors This episode includes our two longtime sponsors.
