Jumer's Castle - Peoria

Jumer's Entryway

Jumer's Dining Room with Armor

So, what's Sherlockian about this place?
Well, we had the pleasure of meeting with some eminent Sherlockians and other friends there enjoying a fine dinner and great Sherlockian comradeship..

Bob Burr

It was certainly a delight to have seen and visited with Brad and Kathy, whom we have met at a quite a few previous Sherlockian gatherings, and a great pleasure to have gotten together again with Bob Burr, whom we hadn't seen since the Survivors of the Gloria Scott Gala in January of 2003. Our appreciation to Bliss and Marilyn Phillips (our buddies whom we met on the internet, and who are not yet Sherlockians, but we are working on them!) for arranging this landmark meeting in the great city of Peoria, IL. BTW, Bliss is a wealth of information about trains and train travel. He was a great help to us in arranging our trip via "The Empire Builder" to Seattle last summer.
