PATRICK TULL
President

Patrick Tull, raised in England, now resident in New York City, has worked for many years as an actor, most recently and primarily in the field of Recorded Books for whom he has narrated all of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin Canon, soon to be the basis for an upcoming Literary tour, as well as numerous other works by authors as varied as Hardy and Dickens to John Mortimer and Ellis Peters.

He has traveled extensively over the years, both alone and with his wife Sue Dennis, in the U.S. and Europe, and as a longtime resident of Great Britain feels very well equipped to travel with visitors to that country as both a guide and a companion.

Patrick Tull passed away on September 23, 2006.

SUSAN SMITH-PETERSEN
Vice-President

Susan Smith-Petersen has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Europe. From the treeless Arctic tundra of Svaalbard, Norway, to the lush tropical jungles of Domenica, her journeys have always focused on both the cultural and the historic aspects of each destination.

Immersion travel has provided a unique opportunity not only to observe different ways of life, but also experience every day living as a 'temporary native'.

For over thirty-five years Susan has researched, designed and arranged custom itineraries for the traveler who seeks a different cultural experience, or, as the current parlance describes it, 'More bang for their buck!'

SUE DENNIS
Secretary/Treasurer

Sue Dennis is an inveterate traveler and voracious reader. Her major requirement for travel is that the experience not be superficial. She has lived in other cultures, traveled extensively and organized many trips – personal, familial, professional.

She spent over 10 years managing and coordinating conventions for over 500 persons. She handled airline reservations, hotel negotiations, entertainment and catered events. With the demands of high investment and professional achievements that industrial conventions require, the conventions she ran were always rated as very successful by her clients.

She looks forward to meeting with like-minded sojourners who enjoy reveling in the detailed information that travel can help you experience.
