Re: [AGA-mcm] Thanks!

Auctions are like driving in rush hour -- everything
happens fast and there are many chances for things to
suddenly stop -- but I was gone from the room for only a
short time when the crash happened and the auction resumed
full speed before I returned. Great adaptation! I can't
wait see the auction results from the auction. A lot of
items were moved during a relatively short time. And the
Silent Auction ran much better than before.

After you folks have caught up on your sleep, don't wash
the convention out of your mind. Anyone that has any
comments about the convention, any view points, critiques,
comlaints, whatever, please post them for discussion or
send them to me to so we can incorporate them into the
Proposal Reuqirements and Guidelines document for the next
convention. Notes, scribbles, things you heard from other
attendees, everything is welcome and wanted. It is the
looking back that improves our looking forward. We didn't
have an AGA Board meeting or convnetion commeittee meeting
in Virginia (when was there time?) so we will need to do
the reviews here on this list and by email.

I want to give my personal thanks to all the GWAPA folks,
especially Rick and Ghazanfar, that made everyone, even the
AKs like me, feel very welcome.

broadly international convention so far . . . People came from the USA, 
England, Italy, Poland, Netherleands, Germany, Japan, Canada . . .
