It was my privilege to attend the conference and my pleasure to take these pictures and produce this page. If any of you want
the original digital photo of any of these pictures, please send me an email and let me know which ones you would like. In most
cases the original photos are considerably larger than the edited versions shown here. I truly enjoyed getting to know many of
you and look forward to seeing you at some point in the future. If you are ever in South Dakota, please look me up and let me
show you my State.
I like libraries... so sue me!
