Did you miss the Edmonton Convention?
Here is one comment from an attendee, "We wish to thank you for your skill and efforts in organizing such an enjoyable and useful convention. We met all sorts of interesting people, got a great deal of advice on primary sources and books, and realized how our family background fit into the larger pattern of Germans moving east. We were impressed by the quality of the people heading up various SGGEE research and data projects, and realize that we have only scratched the surface of the questions we hope to answer." Hope to see you all at our convention next year in Winnipeg.
