Dear Groop,

I have to tell everyone how great the DC trip was!  Don, Mike

and Tredway were fabulous hosts and made me, the newbie, feel

so welcome.  It was great to meet everyone face to face and

gather so much new knowledge I felt like my head was going to

explode! (In a good way of course!)

I had high expectations and this trip was more than I could have

ever hoped for.  The Smithsonian labs and the Capitol Building

blew my mind.  I have included a picture of Don showing us his

turtle during the tortiose shell workshop.

Thanks again for making this possible, and I can't wait for

another trip.
