I thought the D/FW meeting was great. We all sat around a square set of tables, so everyone could make eye contact. We started at the start, talking about pond construction, then free-lanced our way through the day. There was a free exchange of ideas, and if anyone wanted to speak, they could. Questions were addressed to different people, with interjections from anyone compelled. It was refreshing, to break bread with fellow pondmeisters. We had people from all walks. There was an attorney, nuclear physicist, dentist, retired manufacturer, consultants, entreprenuers...it was great. We went in without an agenda and that was pretty neat. Dave Davidson was in charge, and he had several key people around him to find the venue, to provide subway sandwiches and drinks. It was a fun event. Heck, I might be able to talk Otto into flying with me.
