I want to thank Harry Vanderpool for all his hard work putting the conference together again this year. Landing Jim Tew as the key note speaker was the highlight of the entire event. He made me want to resubscribe to Bee Culture again. I learned a lot from every speaker.
The facility was perfect. The rooms and the staff were excellent as well.
It was so good connecting with fellow keepers that I only get to see at this yearly event, and I met several people that I was happy to get to know.
The only things I hope for next year is possibly to have an extra hour for the board meeting and an extra hour for the membership meeting. There were so many important issues that didn't get the needed time to resolve, but who knew.
The presenters from out of state were impressed by the OSBA members, and considered us to be possibly the strongest Beekeeping Association in the country.
Thank you again Harry, and thanks to all the members that keep us strong.

I would first like to thank Norm Counterman for not coming to the conference. We all got along just great! Secondly, Thom Trusewicz for working alternatly as pilot and copilot at the powerpoint array. The presentations went off like a clock thanks to Thom.

Except for the one time I fell asleep and advanced a slide by mistake. We need to work out that remote divice for next year. I think that if we turn the projector on before the laptop it may detect the wireless divice. I didn't want to monkey with it between presentations.
Hey another thing, it sure was nice meeting John Jacob from the So Ore group. I trust that group will be up to full strength in no time.
