>>All in all, this was a most enjoyable convention for me.  Big thanks go to
Harry Richards for doing it all again (Harry was also the Convention
Chairman/Coordinator for NSA 94 in Milwaukee).  Your efforts resulted in a
very well-run and well-attended Convention.  Please convey my appreciation
to everyone who contributed to this wonderful event!

I must confess that was really going in to this NSA with a bad attitude ( I
dont care much for the near to July 4th date)  I will swallow hard with an
big apology to all because I must say that I agree with Bill Davis....this
convention was the most connected and "schmoozable " and fun one I have
ever been to.  All the past NSA's have been a blast, but this one was set
in a hotel that was IMHO...was an excellent choice for an NSA requirement.
With low cost suites and FULL breakfast at 75.00 a night...each suite had a
front room with a bar, TV and sofas for dealers to show their humble
wares....or for folks to just hang out and socialize.  Great value....
It was never a dull moment during rook hopping or after hours in our room
as Jan an I enjoyed seeing the likes of  the walking 3D dictionary.....our
fabulous Dr T, Larry Moor (our wundaful prez!), Susan and David of Reely
Three Dee!, the dignified Dwight Cummings, the low key Shab Levy and his
companion Diane Rulien, the diplomatic and eloquent Larry Haines,
ever-so-early to the room hopping... Sheldon Aronowitz, the sparkly and
sharp-as-nails Martha McCann, that kupple -o- V/M pair Mary Ann and
Wolf....an so many more.

Happy Hour every afternoon, and breakfast  drew many of us together twice a
day..that was really great.  AMPLE access to the trade show.....everything
was smooth and efficient.

Its all such a blur and I can never remember all the great
interactions....but of particular note...thanks Dok Tee for running the
mounting workshop this year...and all your other workshops.  You can never
know how much of a valued resource and great person you are to the 3D
community.  Also to the steady and patient John Roll for his taking on of
the most daunting task of running a great stereo theatre.  Also to Lynne
Butler who really suprised me with her risk taking and cutting edge
projected show which was like nothing we have ever seen before.

Also....many of us got to meet Gret and Hugo deWijs, who travelled far from
Viannen, Netherlands to this NSA to share their products and a bit of their
life thorugh Hugos presentation at Stereo Theatre.  Finally to Harry
Richards, Larry Moor, Bill Moll, and all of the NSA board memebers and
convention planning folks who made this an NSA to be the standard bearer
for future ones.  See you in Mesa!   Jon Golden
