I envy you such an opportunity. Write down who you meet and when in an address book. It will come in handy later.
Ah, youth....it is sometimes wasted on the young.
BTW, LOL, fusionist should be reserved for Meyer's version of Libertarian/Conservative fusion. He paid a dear price defending such an alliance. If I don't use Old Whig, I just say conservative and leave it at that.
Actually to be more specific, he was trying to reconcile the traditionalist and libertarian strains in the conservative movement. I read Meyer's "In Defense of Freedom" last year, and I liked it a lot. It's the closest thing I've seen in print to my own political ideas. I also have a recent biography of Meyer that was printed by ISI Books. I admire Meyer. He was a great man.
