This is the first chance I've had to post since the conference.Thank you all who had a hand in making it special.All of the speakers & subjects were interesting, and the forum members I met were just like me,pond lovers. Thanks Walter,for being so friendly,and I hope your son does well in New York City.Introduced myself to Bob Lusk,Drs. Willis & Condello and others. Met Steve(theo),Rex(rainman),Sue Cruz,Ted Lea,Carey,Chris Steelman,and many others. One of my favorites was Bill Cody. He and I shared a continental breakfast saturday morning and I was able to pick his brain a little. After meeting him,his water hardy plants topic was a blast! His duel with lusk was a riot!! Bob had the thankless task of keeping the speakers on schedule,but Bill was not to be denied! The exchange between those two had to rank as the funniest moment of the day. From morning to evening,the days were filled,well worth the expense and time.Thanks again to all who made it special.
