Jim Steffner and his entire supporting cast for a FANTASTIC job. All of the volunteers were great, but so many didn't get to do much other than their volunteered duties -- Tyrus Mulkey at the Club Promo Table (the guy's gotta have the bladder the size of Nebraska 'cuz he never even left to...well, you get the picture); Rick Miner at the Buiding Fund Table who also spent very little time on the show floor; and of course, our tireless Membership Guy, Ralph and his bee-yoo-tee-ful bride, Rona -- whenever you you walked past, there they were. They all had help, but I'll tell you, they had very little time to take a breath, relax and enjoy the show. Thanks to all of you and also to Bob Bickford who "orchestrated" a lot of the volunteers...and to Barry Weintraub and the entire auction crew, Jim Follis, Joe Shaw (Exhibit Director), and Todd Barrett (Program Director) and the list goes on and on...

Thank you all so much for making the 2004 Convention a real pleasure!!
