NARCON was a blur for us. The weeks (months...) of preparation. The anticipation. The long drive. The booth setup. The addresses by Lee (and Betty) and Matt. Renewing old friendships. Meeting new friends. Missing our friends that could not make it. Far too much fun, then it was over. The long drive back home. Then the orders and demand for what we did not have!

There has been little time to slow down and remember and pass around thanks to everyone that made NARCON 2006 possible.

Scott and everyone at WOOSH. You have made it a tough act to follow.

Jay, thanks for drawing Lee and Betty back into the fold. I don't think they would have come if you had not laid the groundwork. I started Semroc in 1967 because of my admiration of Vern and Lee and a desire to be like them. Since then I have discovered that Gleda and Betty were just as responsible for building the dream I am living in. I hope we will all see much more of the Piester's at future events.

Looking forward to NARAM now!
