My favorite ASTC memory was the night at the banquet we spontaneously built 
towering exhibits from the place settings on our tables.(Scott Carpenter was 
the keynote speaker -- where was that? I think he was amazed!) Then we all 
walked around tables in awe of everyone's work. It was, for me, an iconic 
moment. We love to work in teams solving problems and taking on 
challenges--and we'll make find them!. Exhibit designers are some of the 
most fun people in the world to work with because they can make ideas 
happen. Give us give us "stuff" and we build things.

My second favorite ASTC moment was a post-conference trip from the Edmondton 
conference to the Canadian Rockies. Traveling on a bus with people with deep 
knowledge of geology, ecology, earth science, and conservation was 
wonderful! Every new place we went someone else had all this great science 
information they shared with the entire bus. I still remember the discussion 
about fire prevention and old growth forests. Again it was amazing.

People who can make ideas happen and have deep knowledge about science make 
this field a joy to work in. I missed you in Hawaii. See you next year!
