You northwest people- who is going to the September thingy in Portland?
I live near Seattle and would like to make it!

What is the date of the Portland, thingy??? I don't think I have been notified??

The Portland thingy will be Saturday Sep 19th, in a conference room at St. Vincent Hospital. I don't think the notices have gone out yet. DHM and I will be there for sure.

Can't say I blame him.  That was some chocolate.

Ok, folks... to help make life easier.... I have "Pillaged" all photos from the symposium that folks have shared here and put them into one central location on Photobucket:

http://s227.photobucket.com/albums/dd186/ppearlbaxter/ANA%20Symposium%202009/?albumview=grid


94 pictures.  Once you pull up the "grid", click on the 1st pic in the top/left (I believe its me and Captn Deb). Once you click on the pic, the pic will become full screen. You can then click on the "arrow" on the right margin to move along the pictures to see each one clearly.

I need to finish "tagging" the pics and will do so over the next few days.

thought this would be helpful.

Phyl .....

Thanks so much for putting all of the pictures in one place  ...... and labeling them!  My goodness, what a lot of work!  But it is greatly appreciated!

BTW, it was wonderful getting to know you at the symposium ..... you are one amazing gal!  Hope you are no worse for the wear and have had a chance to recover.

I vote for Capn Deb as the most photographed person at the symposium.  You are very photogenic, Deb!

I blame it on Phyll who kept pointing her camera at me and this guy Dr Rick Friedman of House Ear, who along with the infamous Dr Hitselburger, just happened to spare my facial nerve. I feel really fortunate to have had such great surgeons, and a small tumor.



Kaybo the chocolate doobie pic is a riot!!  You are too funny!! And Taylorsmom Kathy, I think if you ever move to Chicago, you may have a new career!!!

Capt, great pic of you & Dr. Friedman...who happened to save my facial nerve as well!  I just continue to be jealous of all of you who were in Chicago ::)  but, I'm so glad you've all shared your great pictures for the rest of us!
