Okay, so I'm finally beginning to get it! This morning I went down to the Mezzanine level and I saw dozens and dozens and dozens and... (you get the point) of Auctioneers, milling about, talking, laughing and hugging! How cool! I got caught up in it! I wanted to find all of the Green Tags (the Year I students) I could and introduce myself and say hey! I found a whole bunch of ladies who a

I also had saw lots of reconnecting that was going on -- in fact Dennis Kruse reconnected with one of his classmates from the Charter Class of CAI -- Dennis tells me he has been a member of NAA since 1964. I'm impressed!
