Four Great Presenters, all friends, two I work with every day. They had a great idea and found the right venue (EduCon 2.2). I am proud to be in their company.

Last Out. For some reason, I have been the last one walking off the point for several years now - this year I documented that. It may not be significant to anyone else, but it is to me. Deal with it!

As every group departs from Huntington Memorial Camp, a tradition is upheld. There is a wood-fired stove in a sauna on the shore of the lake: a hole is cut into the ice, and after dinner willing participants (mental health is not being discussed here) join together in the sauna and go jump in the lake a few times. Here is this year's Ice Hole Gang (The Assicles).

This was a tough one to take - Jack took a back seat and let me take the group shot with my camera even though he has a new camera. I was so concerned about getting Jack and Patty in the picture I forgot to make sure I could see everyone (some are hiding on purpose, of course). We didn't get one outside today 'cause of the snow after breakfast, so these are it. Thanks again Jack.

Dr. Jack Sheltmire has lots of ideas. One he had about eight years ago became the Winter Alumni Event (I have attended the last seven). Jack and Patty are retiring at the end of this season (Jack will be a hard act to follow). I hope we give the next person the room and support we gave to Jack, as was given to him following George...

Here I Am. We were on a walk today to check out the conditions of the trails and ended up going all the way to KIRBY CAMP and around to the Meadow. It was slippery going from time-to-time and feet sunk in and were not easy to pull our feet out a few times, but it was a great time (OK so some of us were a wee bit wet). The trails should be back to great as soon as there is another few inches of snow. Medium snowfall happening now.

It's raining. First time in the history of the Winter Alumni Event. Temp during breakfast was 44, winds out by the island gusting to 40mph. This picture is was taken from the end of the ice road after breakfast. We might be swimming on top of the ice soon!!!
