Re: How was the Nass Conference?

[John Carmichael]

Thanks to all who wrote to tell me about the Nass Conference.  It sounds like it was well done as usual.  And I'm so glad Tony got the Sawyer Dialing Prize since he's been such a great help to all of us over the years.   I'm also happy to hear that the idea of workshops at the conferences is becoming popular.  I think that most of the attendees love learning about the practical aspects of dial design and construction.   The spinal surgery seems like it was successful but I have to take it easy for a few weeks. At least all the pain is gone from my right arm and hand. and I'm getting some strength back. The Doc and nurse Ratchet only allow me to work on the computer for twenty minutes at a time.  So if I don't answer your letters that's why.   Thanks for sharing,   John     ----- Original Message ----- From: John Carmichael To: Sundial List Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2005 8:55 AM Subject: How was the Nass Conference? I was in the hospital having spinal surgery (for two herniated disks), so unfortunately I missed going to the NASS conference this year.  I know we'll get to read all about it in the next Compendium, but I'm anxious to hear how it went. How were the workshops?And who won the Sawyer Dialing Prize this year?   thanks   John
