Well, Mel, my question for you is, "Did you carry a micro-cassette recorder,
or is your memory really that good?" For myself, I seem to be having more
"senior moments" as stated by Jonathan Kaplan at the Glaze Doctors panel!
It was geat meeting you and the rest. I wish I had eaten more chocolate!

to add to Mel's list:
heard at many of the shows (especially the K-12) and during the breakout
groups:
"we need to do something, I don't know what, but something!"
that said it all to me.
