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. -- Keith F.
