Saturday Night:

Greetings Everybody,

I just returned from the NASS conference in Montreal.  It ended half a day 
early because with the absence of some of the speakers, the agenda was 
shorter.  It was great to see everyone-some new faces, some familiar.  Many 
Quebec Sundial society members attended, as well as a quite a few folks from 
Europe.  The absence of those who could not attend was clearly felt.
The presentations were wonderful, as were the displays, and we had a very 
nice bus sundial tour today, prepared by our Quebec Sundial Society hosts 
Andre Bouchard and company.  Robert Adzema receive the Sawyer Dialing prize 
this year, and as a bonus we got to view the 1930s movie cartoon "the 
Sunshine Makers," which apparently influenced him as a child.  Fred himself 
received as a surprise a first class custom dial made by Tony Moss in 
appreciation.  Thanks to everyone who could participate for making this 
year's meeting a success, despite the difficulties of this week's upheaval.
Next year in Tucson, AZ!

Bill Gottesman
