Thank you to all those in attendance.


Friday was registration and check in with the new automated software. Chris Oelkers was in charge and had people checked in with conference bags in a quick and timely fashion.

Jim Dauenhauer and Terry Odegard did a terrific job setting up and manning the hospitality suite. Thank you, too, Terry for performing the duties of conference photographer. The pictures are priceless.
